HS4A

Human Security for All – A Global Campaign​

Duration: October 2022– March 2024
Budget: US$716,351 (UNTFHS: $299,951; Pooled Funding: $416,400)
Implementing Agencies: World Academy of Art & Science (WAAS), Human Security Unit (HSU)​

The programme’s key objective is to enhance global awareness and acceptance of human security as a universal and proven framework for effective policies, strategies and programmes in a world faced with a confluence of complex crises and accelerating megatrends that if left unmanaged will exacerbate vulnerabilities and inequalities and further undermine the solidarity and trust so urgently needed to meet the priorities of people across the world. It does this by creating a global campaign entitled ‘Human Security for All’ (HS4A). ​

Specifically the programme seeks to: (i) promote human security among networks of people who play key roles in adopting new ideas and translating them into action – policymakers, youth leaders, private sector innovators and financiers as well as educators, scientists, artists and more; (ii) generate widespread awareness of the urgent need to apply human security to multi-dimensional threats in communities across the globe; (iii) create a constituency for human security that helps drive support for meeting the SDGs by 2030; and (iv) call for concrete actions to achieve human security for all by actively promoting solutions and amplifying success stories. ​

Together, events and activities under the HS4A campaign will build momentum – a snowball effect – culminating in significant change in awareness, commitment and action towards the advancement of human security and the acceleration of the SDGs for all.
