New Focus on Sustainability & Governance
 Sustainability is an imperative
Sustainability as a guiding principle needs to become
part of the genetic code of our political, economic and
social systems.
 Sustainability is challenging
Translation into practice has proved difficult. The
paradigm shift needs a holistic vision, a strong political
will and involves the whole society.
 Sustainability is feasible
We believe in the feasibility of significant change on the
basis of concrete political strategies translated in
concrete and tangible policies.
