Driven by her commitment for positive societal change, Özge makes sure the Lab continues designing and contributing to creative, systemic solutions for the shift we need towards finding a balance between current and future generations, as well as the human and the natural world. An experienced navigator of the multilateral system, she uses her experience and creative imagination to build bridges between the United Nations, other multilateral organizations, academia, the private sector, and civil society to come together as a movement for defining what’s next for sustainable development, with a focus on promoting a values-based, regenerative approach to redefining systems.  

Curious to connect with Ozge?

Here is a list of 3 (among many more!) questions she seeks to unpack within the Beyond Lab:

  • How can we overcome our biases and unleash our collective creativity to re-imagine a world were current and future generations thrive, in harmony with nature? 
  • How can we promote greater inter-generational accountability for long-term sustainability?
  • How can we apply approaches such as constructive hope to incentivize collective action for change?
