A new report, Digital Disruptions for Sustainability Agenda (the D^2S Agenda) [9], developed by Future Earth’s Sustainability in the Digital Age initiative, explores these issues. The D^2S Agenda was developed over the course of a year, engaging over 250 experts from around the world through workshops, online consultations, and desk-top research. This article provides an overview of the analysis and findings outlined in the D^2S Agenda.

We begin with an overview of the research on how to change systems and drive societal transformations. We then describe the process used to develop the D^2S Agenda and provide a summary of the research and innovations outlined in it. The final section outlines near-term actions needed to establish the enabling conditions to drive the transformative systems changes needed for a climate-safe and equitable world

We developed the D^2S Agenda to identify opportunities created by the digital age to push the most influential leverage points for systems change
