TWO PATHS TO 2050
"As part of a long and ongoing listening journey
with experts, activists, and scholars across the
world, this is how we envision our future:
AN ECONOMY AND SOCIETY THAT…
1. respects the limits of earth, our air, water, forests
and climate and puts people and planet before
proft and infnite growth
2. provides fair distribution of wealth and power
3. enhances well-being of the people
4. is inclusive, just and diverse
5. promotes the resilience of our communities
AND GOVERNMENTS THAT…
6. increase transparency across political and
economic processes
7. promote real civic participation
8. enhance peace and cooperation between
countries
9. implement policies and mechanisms that hold
state and corporations accountable."
LETIS CHANGE THE
FUTURE TOGETHER
“A Sustainable Future Is Possible New research shows that meeting global development and conservation goals
together is indeed possible. But only if we make if we make signifcant changes in the ways we provide food, water,
energy and other resources. “An Attainable Global Vision for Conservation and Human Well-Being” explores the
potential for a world in 2050 that looks drastically diferent from the one we could face if we continue on a
business-as-usual path. By addressing 10 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the study
emphasizes the health of the natural environment and links to human health and well-being.”
A SUSTAINABLE
FUTURE IS POSSIBLE
“TNC developed two scenarios for the
future: one was business as usual, and
the other was a conservation pathway.
We learned that by 2050 we can
support
both
conservation
and
economic growth.”
