- Climate and Environmental Literacy: the role of education and literacy in addressing challenges of the climate crisis. Solutions within this area include formal education, non-formal education, and informal learning.
- Sustainable Energy: just and sustainable energy transition in line with Sustainable Development Goal 7. Solutions should use technology for affordable, reliable energy, and enhance efficiency in households, industries, and transportation.
- Food and Agriculture: greenhouse gas emissions, food loss, waste, and insecurity due to climate impacts and growing demand. Solutions involve regenerative, resource- and climate-resilient production practices, or food processing, distribution, and consumption interventions.
- Nature Assets: healthy ecosystems, forests, coral reefs, oceans, and habitats. Solutions in this area need to focus on conservation and restoration of precious natural assets.
- Sustainable Consumption and Production: minimizing waste, keeping materials in circulation, and regenerating natural systems. Solutions should focus on lifecycle considerations, resource efficiency, and designing products for longevity, repairability, and recyclability.
