L’intelligence humaine et les évolutions techniques qu’elle est en train de rendre possibles bouleversent la manière de produire, d’échanger et même d’être dans nos sociétés. Comment s’assurer que ces changements rendent le monde plus soutenable et améliorent le vivre ensemble – bref que l’humain est bien au centre des profondes évolutions en cours?

Am I right that in this context it means to coexist?

help us to coexist/live together in peace
Explanation:
I think you have to add "in peace" or "peacefully", because that's the implication. We already coexist, but not very peacefully.

Living together (Cultural Diversity)


Explanation:
"le vivre ensemble" means living together with other groups, communities; it's not simply "live together". In other words, we also use the term cultural diversity which is also stands for respecting and tolerating towards other communities, cultural. There are many separate societies that emerged around the globe differed markedly from each other, and many of these differences persist to this day. As well as the more obvious cultural differences that exist between people, such as language, dress and traditions, there are also significant variations in the way societies organize themselves, in their shared conception of morality, and in the ways they interact with their environment.
