Abstract:
This Intelligence Briefing recognizes the urgent need for global-scale transformations to
overcome the crises facing humanity. The “10 Must Haves Initiative,” conceptualized by The
Earth League and the participants of the Global Futures Conference, aims to provide a
framework for accelerated transformations to bridge the gap between pledges and action
related to global challenges to stay within planetary boundaries and ensure a safe and just
future for all. Each "Must Have" represents targets within which a forthcoming report outlines
the specific “must-do” actions, relevant actors and considerations for successful
implementation. The authors put forth that we must have a limit of global warming as close to
1.5°C as possible by 2050; an immediate halt and reversal of the loss of nature’s functions and
diversity; just economies that operate within planetary boundaries; equitable access to
resources needed for human well-being; governance transformations to stay within planetary
boundaries; healthy, safe, and secure food for the global population; the reconnection of human
well-being to planetary health; an ethical digital world providing for human security and, a
resilient global society ready to respond to planetary crises.
