The importance of collaboration and inclusivity in sustainable growth. The Brundtland Report delineated how economic growth, social inclusion and environmental balance are essential to create a sustainable development solutions network utilizing local, national and global development strategies. However, these aspects alone cannot account for the full complexity of our current societies[1]. Identify potential public–private partnerships to build more resilient societies and economies and take common action to support sustainable, inclusive growth. Prioritize investments and scale solutions that help mitigate risks for future shocks. Use leadership positions in the public and private sectors to advocate for a cultural change in organizations and societies as society moves away from narrowly focused, short-term responses toward long-term value creation[2]. Finally, the resilience framework will, by design, foster the cooperation of public- and private-sector organizations in supporting sustainability and inclusiveness across societies. For companies, resilience will translate into sustainable business growth; for societies, resilience both enables and depends on meaningful economic growth, emphasizing improved quality of life, equality, and inclusiveness. Wealth creation becomes meaningful when it also elevates the standing of the most vulnerable and poorer populations, in economies of all developmental stages. Without sustained social advancement, societies are less resilient and secure. Likewise, the goal of sustainable, inclusive growth includes the protection and repair of natural environments, beyond mitigation of the effects of the climate crisis[2].
