Mindy Lubber, President of Ceres, introduces a discussion on sustainability mega-trends. Issues like rapid resource depletion, increased energy demands, and climate change present both significant risks and opportunities for businesses. Addressing these trends necessitates profound shifts in how investors and companies plan, operate, and compete globally.

Naomi Klein's "This Changes Everything," a Guardian Docs feature published March 6, 2015, details her pivotal realization: climate change is inextricably linked to inequality. Initially not her primary focus, this connection transformed her perspective.

The film highlights examples like Alberta's tar sands, where Canadian government policies led to environmental destruction and a boom in Fort McMurray. Indigenous communities, alongside global activists, protested these impacts. This raises a crucial question: how can diverse movements worldwide unite to tackle both climate change and inequality?

The call to action is clear: build an organic network of resistance. Get involved and speak out to foster collective change.

Judith Rodin emphasizes that future preparation requires building better cities. Dozens of global cities, from New York to Dhaka, have recently endured large-scale catastrophes, including natural disasters, conflicts, and disease. In our interconnected world, these events harm vulnerable individuals, destabilize communities, and threaten entire societies.

Facing increasing city-wide risks, we must improve our ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Dr. Judith Rodin, President of the Rockefeller Foundation and author of *The Resilience Dividend*, offers groundbreaking research. She guides individuals, companies, and societies in averting disaster by fostering more dynamic, resilient urban environments.

Rodin's work explores critical questions, such as lessons from Japan's 2011 tsunami and Haiti's humanitarian aid. Her book, *The Resilience Dividend*, is available for order.

The Story of Solutions explores how to move our economy toward a sustainable and just future by redefining its core objective. The current "Game of More" prioritizes endless growth—more consumption and infrastructure—despite worsening health, rising inequality, and environmental degradation.

What if our economic goal wasn't just "more," but "better"? Imagine an economy focused on improved health, quality jobs, and a viable planet. This reorientation would redefine what true success means for us all.
