1. Delivering on human needs
If you are already delivering on human needs you can consider:
- Sharing your strategy with other cities, and engage in international initiatives to share your experiences with a human needs driven innovation agenda for global sustainability.
- Quantify your contribution
How many people has your city delivered to on human needs and in what ways have you contributed to human needs?
- Assess possible negative contributions
Many cities today have policies that undermine human needs by supporting a consumer driven society and a simple growth driven agenda. Together with other cities and stakeholders review these contributions and develop strategies to eliminate them.
2. Providing enabling services
If you provide enabling services that are potentially contributing to human needs you can consider:
- Conducting an assessment of your potential contributions to human needs using the full climate impact assessment approach and its four steps.
- Identify clusters that can help you deliver on human needs in a sustainable way
- Identify ways your enabling service can potentially undermine human needs and accelerate unsustainable trends.
3. Provide resources
If you provide resources that potentially can contribute to human needs you can consider:
- Conducting an assessment of your potential contributions to human needs using the full climate impact assessment approach and its four steps.
- Identify clusters that can help you deliver on human needs in a sustainable way
- Identify ways your resources can be part of systems that undermine human needs and accelerate unsustainable trends.
4. Provide biodiversity and/or animal rights solutions
If you provide solutions that deliver on biodiversity and/or animal rights you can consider:
- Conducting an assessment of how much biodiversity you contribute to and if it is compatible with a half-earth future.
- Identify clusters that can help you deliver on human needs in a sustainable way
5. Provide elimination of existential risks solutions
If you provide solutions that contribute to the reduced probability or elimination of existential risks you can consider:
- Communicating this work as almost no cities today recognise existential threats and their relation to them.
- Assess how you can build capacity among other stakeholder in the area of existential risks.
