collaboration between these key actors – especially
Business and Government.
It’s no wonder that Millennials say Government, Society and Business are together most responsible for change.

1. The fight against climate change should be everyone’s fight
• Make it relevant to everyone’s daily lives.If they know they can make a difference, they will.
• Inspire people to innovate new ideas and technologies.Individual actions – around aspects like clean energy, sustainable agriculture, R&D – will lead to a significant collective response.
![Page 27: How Millennials feel About Climate Change](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042723/58705e4f1a28aba2118b71db/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
2. The tipping point for Sustainable Business is now
• It’s time for transformation.With increasing pressure from Millennials, and in fact all stakeholders, businesses must find new ways to operate.
• A new era of performance with purpose. There is a ‘Race to the Top’ – this will be amplified by early actors and the UN climate change conference.

3. Businesses,Millennials are your best chance for change.
• We are acting anyway. With businesses, or on our own.
• We are stronger together. Millennials bring the passion, the vision, the creativity. Businesses bring stability, scale and structure. Both are crucial for success.
