TRANSFORM TO TRANSITION: FUTUREPROOFING FAMILY ENTERPRISES THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY
"The world needs a business mindset to tackle the climate crisis."
- Sultan Al Jaber, the president-designate of the Cop28 summit.
From the energy transition toward alternative sources and the shift to a circular economy that replaces our historical linear system, much is changing. For years we have been talking about the transitions that we will need to collectively make to ensure that the risks of climate change are mitigated and disruptions to our current ways of life are minimized. Unfortunately, the word transition suggests that this will be an orderly, gradual progression; like the changing of seasons, or from day to night. This incorrect assumption, combined with a lack of global collective action, has led to complacency. A sense that we can afford to wait just a little longer before we need to change what we are doing. That the best course is to ‘wait and see’.
