With the profound global crises bringing ecological and socio-economic catastrophes, thrusting increasing numbers of the world population over the edge, regional and global processes of addressing issues ranging from access to clean water and land, to macro changes in international institutions, are challenged with offering coordinated responses and viable alternatives.

Given the graveness and inter-connectedness of the crises threatening to destroy humanity and the earth, there is urgency for intensive and extensive convergences and cross-fertilizations of theories and practices for fostering dynamic collaboration between and among thinkers and actors, and between and among the South. A sustained effort is required in rendering viable and effective intellectual commons through review of our historical experiences and production of new imaginations, new languages, and new responses.

The South South Forum is an open space for connections and committed  actions.
