Addressing heads of state, UN officials, private sector
executives, humanitarian activists, and thought leaders through a pre-recorded
message broadcast at the World Humanitarian Forum (WHF) in
New York, Queen Rania warned against the temptation of turning inwards and "focus only on
narrow self-interest" in times of crises.
"If we step back, if we widen our sights, we see a
different picture... one that demands – and reinforces – our faith in
collective action," Queen Rania said, underlining the importance of
working together as a global community.
Drawing attention to the international community’s
shortcomings in acting as a united front, the Queen said "we are still far
from fluent in the language of our common humanity," warning that poor
global cooperation poses a danger to everyone, "because we don’t exist in
a world of separate boxes, nor do our problems."
On the global pandemic response, the Queen explained that a
stronger "human network" built on better communication would have
mitigated the crisis more efficiently. She went on to suggest means for
addressing this global collaboration deficit.
"To build forward better, we must upgrade our human
connectivity – the virtual and the virtuous," the Queen explained.
"Humanity’s neural network, eight billion strong, must be powered by
common vision and commitment."
The Queen also said that despite the need to upgrade
connectivity, humanity can still rapidly adapt to hard times, citing the
advances made in remote work, online learning, and hybrid education throughout
the pandemic.
