How can we, as global citizens, help move the dial from an egocentric to an ecocentric world?
Greetings – we are a group of Global Citizens – people who live and feel at home outside of our native culture or passport country. This gives us a particular perspective, on ourselves and others, on how to broker relationships and navigate our way through unfamiliar territory (literally!). For example, we often find ourselves on the outside looking in and have learnt to adapt to new situations. What can this perspective bring to tackling the Climate Emergency? How can we help move the dial from an egocentric to an ecocentric world? This session will be a lively discussion about the characteristics, skills and viewpoints that Global Citizens can bring to the Climate emergency. There will be small group discussions and harvesting of ideas on how we, as Global Citizens, can support the world and each other in making an impact. We very much look forward to meeting you and hearing your perspectives too.
Camilla Degerth, Paul Harding and Islam Kafi are three professional coaches and global citizens who have worked and lived in many different places around the world. They believe the mindset, skill set and learnings that global citizens have are valuable for the conversation about the climate emergency.

Presenter(s) Bio
Camilla Degerth: With a lifetime of living between cultures; as a cross-culture kid, studying, raising a family and working across three continents I consolidated my life experiences and now work location independently as an accredited (ICF - PCC) coach in cross-cultural leadership. As a member of CCA since 2020 I have explored facilitation and systemic coaching of individuals, teams and groups on topics such as climate change. Connection with nature is essential for my well being, and also something integrated in my professional identity.

Spare Field - Not in use - Paul Harding: Having shed the shackles of a career working for large corporations as an Organisation Development specialist, I now spend my time learning Greek, writing film scripts and focusing on the climate emergency. I have lived in the UK, the US and Greece and have had the good fortune to experience many different cultures. My academic interests run to Generational Cycles (Strauss and Howe), Deep Ecology (Dan Wahl, Joanna Macy, Stan Rowe), Systems Thinking (Fritjof Capra), psychology (Jungian), and am trained in the Insights psychometric. All of which I hope to apply in some shape or form to tackling the climate emergency.
Spare Field - Not in use - Islam Kafi: Born and raised in Toronto, to hard working parents who chose to make Canada their home, I was fortunate enough to be raised during a time where diversity was celebrated and I always felt like I belonged. Life has since led me to live in 3 different countries and I have been living with my family in Saudi Arabia for the past 14 years. As a PCC coach who works closely with other expats, I now find myself raising 2 third culture teens who, like the people I coach, are looking for their own way to “belong.” I truly believe that the concept of embracing a “Global Citizen” identity, not only unites us, but gives people like us a true sense of connection and belonging.
