Summary

As things are breaking down, so glimpses of the future are breaking through: the green shoots of 'Tomorrow's Green Economy' are growing up all around us.  The evidence is building and is cumulative: revenues in industries tackling climate change now exceed those of software and biotech combined; the world's first carbon-neutral auto plant; and so on - these and other examples are brought together on forceforgood.  But our argument is that this is about more than specific examples.  We are on the threshold of a new 'Kondratiev' wave of economic development, the age of sustainability - where before humanity and economy were shaped by the ages of steam, mass production and knowledge.  This is being driven by forces which together result in the creation of value through sustainability - each wave being driven by the greatest constraint facing development becoming the driver for the next phase of progress and renewal.

The 13 year old girl is now 29, and things have got worse, not better.This is why we need companies to be a force for good. This is why companies themselves need to become a force for good.
