Policy levers for a redesigned economy: THE REPORT

Our current economic system operates on a fundamental logic of short-term profit maximization that drives unsustainable behaviour and accelerates resource depletion and climate crisis*. In this project, we have identified the key barriers preventing businesses and society from making genuine leaps toward sustainable and circular business models.​This research project aims to visualize how our economic and financial systems work today, identify and understand phenomena that make change difficult, and identify the most effective leverage points where policy can ways to drive transformative innovation. Through extensive stakeholder engagement with business leaders, finance professionals, policymakers, public sector representatives, and civil society, and with complements from literature, we’ve developed a comprehensive map of levers to stimulate change towards a sustainable system. The hope is that the results- empowered by visualizations- will contribute to transformative policymaking that creates a sustainable, safe, and sound economy operating within planetary boundaries - the environmental limits within which humanity can safely thrive.​
