Resilience in times of polycrisis Long-term Investment Outlook 2023

The Resilience in times of polycrisis Long-term Investment Outlook 2023 report highlights the existence of a polycrisis, where ecosystems are close to collapsing, the economic system is stressed, and socio-political relations are under pressure. The report suggests that the current situation results in increasing uncertainty, lack of progress on the sustainable development agenda, and an unstable economy, and policymakers are at a loss as to how to address the issue. The report argues that a return to the pre-polycrisis world, which was based on fossil fuels and focused on efficiency and perpetual growth, is not possible and that a transformation is necessary. The report calls for choices from society, policymakers, business, voters, and investors, to determine what needs to be broken down, converted, and built up, as a way out of the current situation. The report concludes that a multifaceted transition is required to find a new way of looking at the future of society and the economy.
