Sustainability cannot be measured in economic terms alone; environmental, socio-cultural, and spiritual aspects are equally essential. Justice and dignity therefore must be championed as core values when pursuing sustainability. Sustainability also cannot be achieved by a few select populations alone; it requires all of us. Voices that are often underrepresented and marginalized—particularly those of women, Indigenous Peoples, migrants, small-scale farmers and fishers, persons with disabilities and youth—must be heard and amplified.

Civic Engagement 4.0 connects ideas, people, action, and innovation to build a future imbued with dignity, justice, and sustainability as core values—a future where every person is respected as a fellow human being.

Civic Engagement 4.0 invites global citizens from all sectors of society to share, discuss, and develop ideas and actions to achieve these core values in our era of urbanization and rapid technological change. While Civic Engagement 4.0 focuses on the future of Asia, it collaborates with partners and friends from around the world.
