Carnegie Council is pleased to announce that Global Ethics Day will return for its 11th year on October 16, 2024, with the theme “Ethics Empowered.”
As the world confronts the rapid proliferation of emerging tech, ongoing wars in Europe and the Middle East, and a climate crisis, we invite citizens, schools, nonprofits, and businesses to join us on October 16 to empower ethics as a force for good.
For ideas on how to get involved, we encourage you to visit the Global Ethics Day website to access our 2024 digital toolkit and key messages. And be sure to share your activations on social media tagging Carnegie Council along with #GlobalEthicsDay or #EthicsEmpowered.
