 As the 21st century advances, we need much bolder and more imaginative transformation to enable everyone everywhere to lead healthy, flourishing lives. Yet we face converging crises of biodiversity collapse, climate change and deep structural inequalities. These are systemic risks and they go to the very heart of human survival, human security and prospects for economic shared success. Some incredible solutions are being developed, but results are too slow, too fragmented and too unevenly shared. So, we need to write a new history for our shared future. How is CISL, the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, driving impact? We develop core leadership for individuals, organisations and supply chains across the world. We leverage global foresight, influence and reach. We share evidence, tools and cutting edge research. And we work to reshape the policy and operating context to drive change that delivers for people, nature and climate. We have three priority impact areas for systems change, future place, future economy, future lives. Together these connect and amplify our expertise and networks across sustainable finance, policy and industrial transformation, education, leadership, research and innovation. Future place addresses how we will create living and liveable places for communities and whole regions to thrive. The health and life chances of billions depend on how we design, invest in and adapt urban systems of tomorrow. But also how we renew social and economic connections between cities and rural areas on which our life support systems depend. Future economy. There is no business on a broken planet. Business of all sizes, the world's financial system and the powers of innovation have a critical role and responsibility to play in aligning the things people need and want with positive benefits for our environment and society. Future lives. We know that life chances and livelihoods are increasingly unequal and that aspirations and lifestyles tied to unsustainable production and consumption prevail in a fast rising number of countries. Yet those closest to the ground continue to pay the price in terms of their health, their finances, their opportunities. It is time to bridge that divide and bring diverse voices and perspectives together to shape a new vision for the future we want. For the past 30 years, CISL's mission has been to develop the leadership we need for a sustainable future. Because it's part of the university, CISL is able to draw on some of the best research, create partnerships, drive innovation and harness the university's global influence and convening power. And by working with business, government and with the finance sector, it's helping to accelerate the transformation in how we all approach challenges for sustainability and in so doing is building Cambridge University's reputation and impact in the space. Our new headquarters, the Entopia building, brings to life our mission to support and inspire leadership and innovation for a sustainable economy. It's a sustainable retrofit building and shows how buildings of all sizes can be transformed to generate multiple benefits for their occupants, their communities and the wider world while remaining commercially compelling. The building will host CISL's incubator, the Canopy, which is dedicated to supporting start-ups and small businesses that share our global impact goals. We're proud to have a global community of action now numbering more than 27,000 senior leaders and change makers and together they work across all sectors, all regions and all cultures. They're a powerful force for change. On a personal front, it's been really useful and insightful engaging with CISL. I've attended some of your courses, which not just exposed me to the best thinkers in this area and made me realise the scale of impact we need, but also helped me improve my external network, which is one of my personal development aims. Sustainability challenges have been told in a way that people were not really listening until recently. And the work that I've done with CISL around how we communicate sustainability has made a critical change in my career. Leaders across generations, sectors and regions have a duty of hope as well as of realism and accountability. It is time to move beyond the false dichotomy of short versus long term. So let's highlight the positive benefits of integrated action for people, nature and climate. We need to show that change is possible, urgent and truly exciting.
