Planet under Pressure

The 2020s are the make-or-break decade for Sustainability. But Covid-19 questions almost everything. How can we handle increasingly frequent shocks? What can a resilient society and economy that is in line with planetary boundaries look like? These and many other questions are discussed in the new 2020 edition of the Global Goals Yearbook titled “Planet under Pressure”. The Yearbook supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals and is one of the publications in strong international demand.

Reporting at regional level is becoming<br />

more difficult: The OECD is helping<br />

to guide local and regional leaders in<br />

developing policy approaches and action<br />

plans to localise the SDGs. What<br />

is lacking is a concrete instrument to<br />

address these drivers on the part of<br />

policymakers (e.g. the EU) and regional<br />

actors (e.g. the OECD). Our project approach<br />

comes into play at exactly this<br />

point.<br />

How?<br />

1. You are a city, a regional government,<br />

a business association or a large<br />

company with international supply<br />

chains.<br />

2. You want to test crucial parts of your<br />

business/your economic area for their<br />

resilience in the light of different<br />

crisis scenarios.<br />

3. You work together with us on the<br />

implementation of the ESG stress<br />

test. Results and findings must made<br />

available to the general public and<br />

academic purposes.<br />

Connecting the business context and strategy to risk identification<br />

means <strong>under</strong>standing of internal and external challenges<br />

like climate change and other megatrends, SWOT analysis<br />

and impact and dependency mapping among others.<br />

Risk identification by working with KPIs and international<br />

reporting standards – this is the starting point for threats or<br />

opportunities to achieving strategy and business objectives.<br />
