One Planet Business

One Planet Business brings together business leaders, policy-makers, investors, consumer groups and other NGOs in a one year multi-stakeholder process to understand and help achieve the system changes required to ensure that our market economies are sustainable. Together these stakeholders will explore transformative ways for business to create value and meet human demand in a severely resource-constrained world.

Each process will focus on particular areas of demand, with the first phase of work addressing mobility, and subsequent phases picking up other priority areas of consumption such as food and housing. Each will use a global evidence base gathered by WWF and its research partners to assess the impacts of specific changes to demand and supply patterns.

From there, stakeholders will analyse where interventions for change could be most effective in reducing global overshoot. With this in mind, stakeholders will experiment with new ideas and solutions for meeting human demands (first mobility) within ecological limits. A joint action plan will be developed to enable participants to scale up these solutions in practice.
