Immediate political actions need to be prioritised in the sustainability crises

The current political actions towards sustainability are insufficient and not in line with the urgency of the intertwined climate crisis and biodiversity loss. Instead of far-reaching future objectives, which shift the responsibility away from the current decision-makers, actions need to be implemented right now. We immediately need to:
- Shift away from economic values and business-as-usual practices
- Prioritize multi-stakeholder inclusion in decision-making and policies
- Define terms and clarify the objectives within legal and political systems
- Prevent lobbying of polluting companies
- Regulate overconsumption and improve citizens’ education
- Improve the independence of environmental agencies
- Reinforce inspection authorities in charge of monitoring and enforcing regulations
