Is it still possible to change the future of our planet?
This is the question we ask in our Annual Review of 2023, the year that marked the halfway point to the deadline for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement commitments.
2023 highlights: Our partners’ perspectives
With their experiences of and proximity to the challenges we aim to help resolve, our partners bring valuable knowledge that we don’t have. For our 2023 Annual Review, we asked some of our partners to reflect on their progress and learnings from the year, as they worked to create sustainable change. Each of the stories from our partners stands for an important milestone on the journey to lasting positive change.
These stories include:
The successes and failures shared by Acumen and Practical Action
The indicators of positive change reported by WASTE and the IFRS Foundation
The values-based and inclusive collaboration enhanced by the Global Alliance for the Future of Food
The impact for the many people created by the Foundation for Climate Friendly Procurement and Business’s CO2 Performance Ladder and the Clean Cooling Collaborative
The voice of the We Mean Business Coalition being used to accelerate impact
The importance of locally led initiatives as enabled by the International Rescue Committee, the Regional Durable Solutions Secretariat and ViriyaENB
Join us on the journey
No organisation can tackle the complex root causes of climate change and poverty on its own. But we’re optimistic that – together – we can still change the future of our planet for good.
