A Climate for Change: New Thinking on Governance for Sustainability

As the 21st century advances, the world faces increasing challenges to economic prosperity, human wellbeing, and environmental integrity – directly impacting life chances for upcoming generations. We recognize the problems but still struggle to secure fast, fair and inclusive progress towards a more sustainable future. It is clear that existing governance arrangements—the way we make decisions, allocate resources and account for actions — are not equipped to deliver the long-term decision-making and active public engagement needed to put humanity on a sustainable track. In June 2013, 50 emerging and established decision-makers, innovators and practitioners of various disciplines from 26 countries on four continents convened at Salzburg Global Seminar to address the complex challenge of sustainability and inject fresh systems thinking into the rapidly-evolving policy landscape.
