The world faces no shortage of crises and challenges beyond climate change, such as biodiversity loss, a mounting waste emergency, and the multiple threats affecting the oceans. Yet, the decisions made to respond to immediate crises – like a global pandemic, hunger, war, and human displacement -- do not always align with the actions needed to address slow-moving, longterm challenges like climate change. Often, policymakers are not empowered to collaborate across sectors to pursue strategic objectives that both improve social and economic indicators in the short-term, and lead to the long-term results needed to transition toward sustainable, low-emissions societies.
