Copenhagen and beyond
An explicit coherent strategy is needed to respond to the array of interconnected threats to the future of humanity, of which climate change is one. It will provide a clear framework in which the actions of nations, cities, corporations, communities and individuals can become mutually consistent and reinforcing. It can provide a sense of vision and purpose to motivate efforts and to accept change.
A New Path for World Development
As work proceeds on the five clusters, a parallel effort will focus on developing a better conceptual and practical understanding of the world systems within which they are linked and embedded. This will help to understand the linkages between trends, issues and actions and to identify the drivers of global change. The Programme will in this way recognize the immense complexity of world affairs.
A dedicated research network will focus on the issue of systems integration, including systems thinking and systems linkages and systems dynamics modelling. These networks will be supported by the Secretariat and accessed through the Club’s website.
