How can we progress on the sustainable development agenda when facing headwinds? In the midst of the polycrisis we are experiencing, it is crucial not to slow down but to move forward, towards a future-ready society. A return to "business as usual" is not a viable, nor a profitable option. What dynamics are at play? What kind of leadership do businesses need? How can we take concrete action within our sphere of impact?
