Start Time: 8:30am ET
Today, more than 305 million people require humanitarian assistance and protection due to a myriad of overlapping crises. Despite this overwhelming need, traditional providers of foreign assistance, such as the U.S. and UK, have recently slashed their commitments, choosing instead to prioritize hard power investments over international aid. For those dedicated to humanitarianism, 2025 marks an inflection point, one that requires us to grapple with the question: How might we re-envision humanitarian aid?
Join us on Wednesday, October 15, from 8:30am to 9:30am ET for the keynote event of Global Ethics Day 2025. Hear from a panel of experts who will explore vital questions around power, accountability, and the need for greater inclusivity in the design, funding, and delivery of humanitarian aid, both today and into the future. Register to attend this panel discussion and Q&A.
