significant juncture. Existential threats loom large, and their profound impact is felt in every corner of our globe. We share not only a physical space but also an inherently inter-dependent one. Yet, a pervasive and increasing crisis of trust complicates our path forward. Within this critical context, the Victoria Forum emerges as more than just a gathering; it is an urgent call to collective action to combat the erosion of trust that has already occurred, build trust across the various divides that are hampering collective action and promote reconciliation.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-695bcf8" data-id="695bcf8" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-1f63033 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="1f63033" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h4 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">August 25 - 27, 2024</h4> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-e4a9f2c elementor-align-justify elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-button" data-id="e4a9f2c" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="button.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-button-wrapper"> <a class="elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md" href="https://victoriaforum.ca/victoria-forum-2024/plan-your-trip/"> <span class="elementor-button-content-wrapper"> <span class="elementor-button-icon"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="fas fa-plus"></i> </span> <span class="elementor-button-text">Plan your trip</span> </span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-188156c elementor-align-justify elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-button" data-id="188156c" data-element_type="widget" data-settings="{"sticky":"top","sticky_offset":200,"sticky_parent":"yes","sticky_on":["desktop","tablet","mobile"],"sticky_effects_offset":0,"sticky_anchor_link_offset":0}" data-widget_type="button.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-button-wrapper"> <a class="elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md" href="https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/victoria-forum-2024-tickets-853151237317" target="_blank"> <span class="elementor-button-content-wrapper"> <span class="elementor-button-icon"> <i aria-hidden="true" class="fas fa-plus"></i> </span> <span class="elementor-button-text">Register Now</span> </span> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-383ba1a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="383ba1a" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4332b20" data-id="4332b20" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-c7c7a0d elementor-flip-box--effect-push elementor-flip-box--direction-up elementor-widget elementor-widget-flip-box" data-id="c7c7a0d" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="flip-box.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-flip-box" tabindex="0"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer elementor-flip-box__front"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__overlay"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__inner"> <div class="elementor-icon-wrapper elementor-view-default"> <div class="elementor-icon"> </div> </div> <h3 class="elementor-flip-box__layer__title"> Trust in Institutions </h3> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer elementor-flip-box__back"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__overlay"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__inner"> <h3 class="elementor-flip-box__layer__title"> Trust in Institutions </h3> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__description"> Political institutions are grappling with corruption, opacity, and divisive politics.

Such a decline rattles the foundations of democracy, undermines societal cohesion, and lies at the heart of a changing world order. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7accc33" data-id="7accc33" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-c42d354 elementor-flip-box--effect-push elementor-flip-box--direction-up elementor-widget elementor-widget-flip-box" data-id="c42d354" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="flip-box.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-flip-box" tabindex="0"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer elementor-flip-box__front"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__overlay"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__inner"> <div class="elementor-icon-wrapper elementor-view-default"> <div class="elementor-icon"> </div> </div> <h3 class="elementor-flip-box__layer__title"> Trust in Economic Systems </h3> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer elementor-flip-box__back"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__overlay"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__inner"> <h3 class="elementor-flip-box__layer__title"> Trust in Economic Systems </h3> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__description"> The widening chasm of economic inequality within and across nations casts dark shadows. These growing wealth gaps and perceptions of unfairness have become catalysts for social unrest and profound disillusionment among populations. Addressing this monumental issue demands an unwavering trust in our financial systems and economic institutions. Issues such as economic disparities, perceived corporate exploitation, and self-serving lobbying practices deepen public mistrust. The global arena is not exempt from this trust deficit either, with disputes over trade, cyber espionage, territorial rights, and questions on the efficacy of international organizations. The nuances in understanding universal values, human rights, and global governance further strain trust at the international level. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-66d81a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="66d81a4" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-33fe423" data-id="33fe423" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-9d642ea elementor-flip-box--effect-push elementor-flip-box--direction-up elementor-widget elementor-widget-flip-box" data-id="9d642ea" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="flip-box.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-flip-box" tabindex="0"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer elementor-flip-box__front"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__overlay"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__inner"> <div class="elementor-icon-wrapper elementor-view-default"> <div class="elementor-icon"> </div> </div> <h3 class="elementor-flip-box__layer__title"> Trust & the Digital Revolution </h3> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer elementor-flip-box__back"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__overlay"> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__inner"> <h3 class="elementor-flip-box__layer__title"> Trust & the Digital Revolution </h3> <div class="elementor-flip-box__layer__description"> Amidst these global challenges, the digital revolution, heralded as the great connector, has ironically been a divider.

The growth of AI has the potential to make things better but could also exacerbate the digital divide.

The persistence of regional conflicts and broader global tensions highlights the fragility of trust between nations, their leaders, and, by extension, their peoples, and is exacerbated by political actors who see that eroding trust fosters their own ambitions. Human displacement and migration are both causes and consequences of tension, creating a vicious cycle. Crafting a peaceful world is not just a lofty aspiration but a necessity to resolve these crises. Achieving peace requires foundational trust, a bond that seems elusive in the current geopolitical climate. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section
