Abstract

Complex and inter-related challenges and related opportunities that impact upon multiple stakeholders present particular problems for decision makers who have to balance economic, political, social, technical and other factors. Public and stakeholder concern over the environment and climate change and its impacts add to the pressure upon them. They raise a variety of questions that corporate and public decision makers should address, including the adequacy of leadership and governance, contribution to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, the alignment of business and social priorities, objectives and desired outcomes and the nature, scale and timing of required responses. More attention should be given to the requirements for effective collective action, coordination and collaboration, and the creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship and responsible leadership needed for integrated, sustainable and inclusive local, national and international responses.
