"Right now, humanity stands at a crossroads. The action we do (or don’t) take is set to determine whether we will – or indeed, can – tackle our climate, biodiversity and social crises."

The UK's Forum for the Future has just published a series of articles called The Future of Sustainability: Looking Back to Go Forward. The articles "explore lessons learned from the last 25 years in the sustainability movement; where have we succeeded in creating real change and where have we failed? And what does that tell us about how we need to do things differently?"

The group's Global Programmes Director, Caroline Ashley, "draws out key takeaways from all we’ve heard in the campaign.

"Looking back, she reflects on three things holding progress up in the sustainability movement:

- piecemeal, shallow and/or short-term interventions;
- failing to effectively consider social justice;
- and investing in siloed activity that drives unintended consequences." - Forum for the Future
