While geared towards prosperity, current economic and financial systems are also driving global inequality, environmental degradation, and climate change. We need to challenge the values these systems are built upon and promote new measures of success, such as planetary health and human wellbeing, to guide individual, political, and corporate action.

Social inequalities, misinformation, and polarisation are dividing societies in Europe and around the globe, threatening democratic values and impeding climate action. To strengthen democracies, we need to promote and communicate common societal climate goals across the political landscape and hold decision-makers to account to implement them.
