10 Must-haves Initiative panel discussion
- Date: Monday, 4 December 2023
- Time: 10:30 am GST (GMT+4)
- Location: Arizona State University Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory Pavilion, Blue Zone, COP28, Dubai, U.A.E
- Overview: Dynamic discussion of the “10 Must Haves” initiative, which explores with the urgency required the question: What are the planetary-scale, must-have transformations for global society to halt and reverse the course of our unsustainable actions and enable an acceleration toward a society that lives in harmony with Earth’s systems? Answering that question is the purpose of the “10 Must Haves initiative,” driven by the urgency of the crises humankind faces and awareness that we are on a trajectory to miss many existing targets. An outcome of the Global Futures Conference in New York City in September, this report provides an initial effort across 10 foundational areas to help decision makers in both the public and private sectors lead the necessary changes that we know are possible to provide an opportunity for all to thrive.
