It's time to accelerate the pace of change
“The pandemic has amplified and accelerated some of the biggest challenges in our society and demonstrated the urgent need for systemic change. To address these issues, we need a market system that puts the needs of stakeholders at its heart, where trust and sustained outcomes come together to drive positive change for society and our planet.”
Building back better will require the collaboration of a wide range of stakeholders to address these challenges. It is critical to tackle the system changes needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals while helping to evolve economies to once again deliver for society.
