The #Desiderata poem —

“And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world..” 💛

We heard reflections on:
🔹 The importance of inclusive, transparent governance
🔹 The role of the Secretariat and subsidiary bodies
🔹 How finance will be central to turning ambition into action
🔹 And how science, knowledge & equity must shape implementation
