This report looks at what needs to change in how natural resources are managed to tackle today’s global crises.
It explores why current financial systems often reinforce unsustainable practices and how smarter policy and public investment can guide change, and highlights key strategies like phasing out fossil fuel finance, supporting green innovation and scaling up sustainable alternatives that can help accelerate the shift toward a more resilient and circular economy.
The report also calls for bold, joined-up action from governments, financial institutions and global partners to rethink the systems that drive unsustainable resource use and replace them with ones that put people and the planet first.
