It’s time to rethink sustainability
Everything is connected. Converging global and local crises affect everyone. Major socio-economic and environment crises—climate change, war, inflation, food and shelter insecurity, superstorms—are all aspects of one living system. Our world and everything that exists within it are part of a collective ecosystem.
To advance the readiness of humanity to survive and thrive, we must stop working in silos. We must adopt an inclusive approach to discovering and creating systemic scalable solutions to the issues we are best prepared to address together.
For RSI, it begins by addressing people’s essential needs and interdependencies for thriving today and into the future. Leverage strategic foresight and capacity building to create rapid and positive social, environmental, and economic change.
Accelerate positive change
RSI uses foresight to collaboratively discover and use solutions to advance our readiness to thrive. We lead and accelerate positive change for a resilient and thriving world through a three-step process:
Ensure a thriving future
RSI drives positive change for a thriving future. Our collaborative ReThink-Convene-Act approach helps break the cycle of fragmented hopelessness in today’s climate. We focus on what can be done to future-ready our world to thrive and provide options for getting involved.
To mobilize positive change, we interconnect all strategies and initiatives with systemic challenges. We prioritize the following areas of focus to bridge initiatives between corporations and communities:
- Transition to Net Zero (SDGs 7, 13)
- Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8)
- Sustainable Food, Production and Supply Chains (SDGs 2, 12)
- Infrastructure and Housing (SDGs 1, 10, 11)
