Redesigning the Rules: Power, Purpose and the Future of Our Economy

The text outlines the mission of the Global Research and Action Network for a New Eco-Social Contract, which seeks to define and implement a new framework for the 21st century. This proposed eco-social contract aims to ensure human rights for marginalized groups, provide security in a changing world, and drive the economic transformation necessary to halt environmental destruction and climate change.

• The 20th-century social contract, based on a balance between economic growth/productivity and social redistribution/protection, is considered broken and unable to support the goals of the 2030 Agenda.
• A new eco-social contract for the 21st century must focus on three primary pillars: ensuring human rights for all (specifically including women, migrants, and informal workers), providing security and protection against emerging challenges, and transforming economies to stop climate change and environmental destruction.
• The Global Research and Action Network for a New Eco-Social Contract, jointly hosted by GEC and UNRISD, aims to define terms for a just transition to green, fair, and climate-resilient economies while integrating various forms of justice, including climate, environmental, racial, and intergenerational justice.
