The triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, poses systemic and compounding risks, heightening the likelihood of disruptions and irreversible damages to people, economies, and nature, both in Europe and globally. The complexity and uncertainty of such systemic risks present new challenges for sustainability governance, as established governance models seem to be uncapable of addressing them. What can be done to navigate such challenges? What practices are emerging?
