The failure of sustainability is a failure to recognise our essential interconnectedness. We still see the world as a collection of islands – of countries, parties, tribes, beliefs, disciplines, sectors and issues. Many still think of the 3Ps (people, planet, profit) or the 17 SDGs. Yet no island is an island – all land is connected. To create integrated value, we have to go deeper than the waves of words and labels, or the currents of ideology and affiliation. We need to dive beneath our surface differences and discover our shared fears and common aspirations. We need to combine our islands.
