Systems Change Lab monitors, learns from and mobilizes action toward the transformational shifts needed to protect both people and the planet, focusing on systems change that can mitigate today’s climate, biodiversity and equity crises.
Specifically, it identifies transformational and incremental shifts that, taken together, can help transform nearly all major systems — power, industry, transport, cities and the built environment, carbon removal, forests and land management, ocean management, freshwater management, food, finance, circular economy, good governance, social inclusion and equity, and new economics.
To ignite transformational change across interconnected systems, Systems Change Lab has identified more than 70 shifts needed to protect both people and the planet. Within each shift, the tool measures how much progress has been made toward 2030 and 2050 science-based targets, as well as enablers and barriers of systems change.
