• Food and water systems transformation: Enable and accelerate the transition of food and water systems to be accessible and resilient, nutritious and healthy, and environmentally sustainable through innovation, finance and public-private partnerships.
• Response and recovery: Improve the state of the environment and the quality of life for communities impacted by pollution. Design and implement public-private collaboration models at global and national levels for systemic transformation.
• Adaptation and resilience: Define, raise awareness and catalyze collective action towards the comprehensive management of critical environmental risks having the greatest impact to our society’s well being.
