The initiative aimed to catalyse a \u2018Global Transition\u2019 by building a community of civil society organisations across the globe to promote and deliver a rapid shift to an alternative global economy that maximises well-being, operates within environmental limits and is capable of coping and adapting to global environmental change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future, nef (<\/span>the new economics foundation<\/span><\/a>) and <\/span>New Economics Institute<\/span><\/a> worked with partners such as the Green Economy Coalition and Bioregional to produce a series of \u2018Challenge Papers\u2019 to develop a clear perspective on emerging green economy priority areas and feed into the Rio+20 process; and coordinated a series of stakeholder dialogues to bring together leading new economic thinkers and practitioners who are pioneering the transition to a green and fair economy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Why do we need a Global Transition?<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The path we are currently on is unsustainable. But, putting the brakes on consumption will, in the current economic system, trigger further unemployment, injustice, and a major decline in human wellbeing. Hence, the tremendous appeal of business as usual and the unwillingness to address the huge systemic problems we face.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are convinced that there is an alternative. This alternative is not just necessary, but both desirable and possible. It means moving to a new economy that delivers well-being and social justice for all without stretching the Earth\u2019s resources beyond breaking point. This requires a Global Transition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
