The future of energy systems is ultra-lightweight materials and devices. The future of resource management is coordinated, multilevel, minimalist, and circular. The future of political decision-making is decentralized, rooted, within a structure that ensures the human rights of everyone.

Sustainable enterprise, accountable governance, open information, and humanizing finance, are all possible.

Where we learn otherwise, we are grappling with awkard relics of primitive power structures, or being asked to go along with unfair practices. We can see past that way of working, to a future that works for everyone.

The Sustainable Development Goals are not a single, overarching regime; they are a mapping of practical objectives that improve living conditions for people and communities.

Wherever one is, whatever room, whatever the subject, such humanizing principled aims should be centered, on the table, and in the vernacular.

All good things are possible.
