Our strengths in sustainability deserve an honest look. A question from Anahita Thoms made me rethink how we discuss progress and responsibility.

Strengths in sustainability: asking a different question
I asked Anahita Thoms where our biggest weaknesses in sustainability were. Her answer surprised me and made me think:
“I would phrase the question differently: where do we have any strengths at all?”
I agree, especially after looking at the 2022 Sustainable Development Goals report linked below.
Fortunately, we are doing well here in many ways. Yet global goals such as ending poverty, decent work, clean water, gender equality and climate action also require local action. As Cawa Younosi put it: think globally, act locally.
