These frameworks guide discussions beyond traditional boundaries and consider complex relationships among issues, driving the dialogue forward in the public-private meeting context.
1. Human well-being and capabilities
2. Sustainable and just economies
3. Sustainable food systems and nutrition patterns
4. Decarbonizing energy systems and universal energy access
5. Sustainable urban and peri-urban development
6. Global environmental commons

Future Plans
