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.

<strong>Planet</strong> <strong>under</strong><br />
<strong>Pressure</strong><br />
The 2020s are the make-or-break decade<br />
for the Global Goals. We say this every<br />
decade, but this time it really is true. 2020<br />
ought to be a super year for nature issues.<br />
That's why we have chosen to focus on<br />
PLANET. But then lockdown came. Since<br />
then the world as we know is rapidly<br />
changing before our eyes. The Covid-19<br />
pandemic is a profound stress test for all<br />
life on earth. Many of the sustainability<br />
successes already achieved could fall victim<br />
to the crisis. That's why we have added<br />
the word PRESSURE. Now begins the time<br />
for a fresh start: Recover better, recover<br />
stronger, recover together. Three questions<br />
will be in the focus: What are the<br />
principles that will organize the future?<br />
How do we safeguard the path change to<br />
sustainability? How do we learn to deal<br />
constructively with asymmetric shocks,<br />
disruptions and conflicting goals? That<br />
means living on a planet <strong>under</strong> pressure.<br />
