The CSCP supports the "One Planet Business" initiative which brings together business leaders, policy-makers, investors, consumer groups and other NGOs within a year long multi-stakeholder process to understand and help achieve system changes required to ensure sustainability of our market economies.
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 demand areas with the first phase of work addressing mobility. Subsequent phases will pick up other priority areas of consumption such as food and housing. Each of the work phases will take advantage of the global evidence base gathered by WWF and its research partners to assess the impacts of specific changes to demand and supply patterns.
From there, the involved stakeholders will analyse where interventions for change could be most effective in addressing a global overshoot in resource consumption. With this in mind, stakeholders will experiment with new ideas and solutions for meeting human demands within ecological limits. A joint action plan will be developed to enable participants to scale up identified solutions in practice.
"One Planet Business" is part of the "One Planet Living" programme, a joint initiative between WWF and BioRegional which aims to create a world in which people everywhere can lead happy healthy lives within the limits of the Earth's resources.
