This workstream strengthens the integration of justice, governance, and political economy within the Earth Commission.
It advances the concepts of just boundaries, no-significant harm, and minimum levels of access to resources for a dignified life. It also examines how power structures, democracy, and economic systems shape both current trajectories and future transformation pathways.
