The way forward

Abstract

This chapter points to the way ahead by introducing five recommendations to meet the requirements set forward by the Stockholm+50 agenda. The requirements identify co-working as vital to addressing the planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, better collaboration and cooperation across all sectors, reinventing to a circular economy meaning decouple economic development from its destructive footprint, accessibility of data, and raising a common awareness for our planet. In response to this potential need, they present five transition options that might facilitate realising the requirements above and recognise a need for: (1) system change, (2) radical interdisciplinarity and trans-disciplinarity, (3) net positive leadership, (4) digitalization for sustainability, and (5) fair and inclusive transitions. Business leaders, their stakeholders and other groups should consider meeting these needs through their work in partnership with other actors.
