Co-Chair Global Future Council for Accelerating Sustainable Production November 2018 - November 2020 (2 years 1 month)

Driving towards Davos 2019 activation .......... Production activities are responsible for significant social and environmental impacts – for example, over 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions result from the cradle-to-factory journey of goods. Simultaneously, at the frontier of production systems lies an astounding amount of innovation across digital, physical and biological spheres. The combinatorial effects of developments like artificial intelligence, blockchain and genome editing can create realities previously unobtainable. Our current production path of delivering on goals for growth in business and national economies, however, is straining natural capital assets far beyond sustainable thresholds, representing a growing systemic risk.

The work in 2018, will focus on creating tailored economic models and quantitative output of the value presented by Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies for specific economies / countries. The priority geographies have been identified as the US, China and India, due to the systemic importance of their economies. The results of the assessments will indicate value to industry, customers, labour, society and the environment and be linked to UN SDG targets and metrics to highlight potential for positive contribution to the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Insights and recommendations will be used as input towards the scoping of public-private collaboration efforts aimed at accelerated adoption and diffusion of sustainable innovation across production systems, and policy-making for the transition to a low-carbon global economy.
