abstract = "Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding
planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international
sustainable development goals and global environmental targets.
Until recently, there was no broadly accepted framework of
interventions that could ignite the transformations needed to
achieve these desired targets and goals. As a component of the
IPBES Global Assessment, we conducted an iterative expert
deliberation process with an extensive review of scenarios and
pathways to sustainability, including the broader literature on
indirect drivers, social change and sustainability transformation.
We asked, what are the most important elements of pathways to
sustainability? Applying a social-ecological systems lens, we
identified eight priority points for intervention (leverage
points) and five overarching strategic actions and priority
interventions (levers), which appear to be key to societal
transformation. The eight leverage points are: (1) Visions of a
good life, (2) Total consumption and waste, (3) Latent values of
responsibility, (4) Inequalities, (5) Justice and inclusion in
conservation, (6) Externalities from trade and other
telecouplings, (7) Responsible technology, innovation and
investment, and (8) Education and knowledge generation and
sharing. The five intertwined levers can be applied across the
eight leverage points and more broadly. These include: (A)
Incentives and capacity building, (B) Coordination across sectors
and jurisdictions, (C) Pre-emptive action, (D) Adaptive
decision-making and (E) Environmental law and implementation. The
levers and leverage points are all non-substitutable, and each
enables others, likely leading to synergistic benefits.
Transformative change towards sustainable pathways requires more
than a simple scaling-up of sustainability initiatives-it entails
addressing these levers and leverage points to change the fabric
of legal, political, economic and other social systems. These
levers and leverage points build upon those approved within the
Global Assessment's Summary for Policymakers, with the aim of
enabling leaders in government, business, civil society and
academia to spark transformative changes towards a more just and
sustainable world.",
