The Fifth Element is a platform for systems transformation. We create the conditions for people, initiatives and institutions to converge, learn and act together toward global equity on a healthy planet.
We want to support people and organisations who are committed to systemic transformation but often feel disconnected from each other, from clarity of direction, or from the conditions needed to go deeper. And aim to do so by:
- Making invisible work visible
- Connecting people and ideas that don’t usually meet
- Opening space for alignment, reflection and renewal

We welcome blog contributions on systems transformation that connect with our work (hyperlink to what do we do).
Whether you’d like to respond to our initiatives with a new piece or share something you’ve already published, we invite you to submit your opinions.
Impact stories
We want to use our platform to showcase real-life examples of transformative change, demonstrating that impact is possible and highlighting initiatives driving it.
Discussion papers
Our discussion paper series emerges from a recognition that our current crises cannot be solved through conventional approaches alone.
These papers are designed as explorations, inviting authors to engage with the difficult questions our interconnected world urgently needs us to address.
If you’re already partner with us on one of our threads, email us to express your interest.

Partnerships
The path forward in this process of deeper learning is not the straightforward execution of a linear plan. It is a journey, an exploration of new sense-making practices in collaboration with partners.
Send us a message if you’re interested in exploring synergies.
