Knowledge Explorer, Fillip Consulting, LLC, France and United States

Knowledge for sustainable development relies on the interaction between local knowledge ecosystems and global knowledge sharing. Embracing diversity and inclusivity ensures knowledge benefits everyone. I commit to fostering an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are valued and shared, regularly questioning my assumptions and biases, and analyzing my use of tools and methods (including AI) that may have embedded biases. While acknowledging AI’s power in transforming data and information, I commit to keeping knowledge and people in focus.

Local knowledge offers context-specific insights and practices. By engaging with these ecosystems, we harness unique perspectives and solutions. I commit to actively engaging with and learning from my local knowledge ecosystem to understand the mechanisms involved in knowledge sharing and the power dynamics impacting access to knowledge and the capacity to act based on that knowledge.
