Leading UNESCO with inclusiveness, innovation and impact: Gabriela Ramos
Daily FT | By Janani Kandaramage
At a time when global cooperation and multilateral leadership is ever more necessary, the candidature for the next Director-General of UNESCO has brought forward Gabriela Ramos, a compelling voice from Mexico.
Ramos’s candidacy for UNESCO’s top position is centred around a highly progressive vision, with a focus on inclusivity, innovation, and impact-specifically cultural preservation and gender equality. According to Ramos, in today’s polarised international environment, there remains a pressing concern for a more effective and relevant UNESCO-particularly as tensions rise globally and the space for collaboration shrinks.
Her vision involves robust ethical frameworks in regulating emerging technologies, intercultural dialogue to strengthen inclusivity, and equitable solutions aimed at directly impacting stakeholder needs.
