Why systems change?

To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 and avert climate change, we need transformational change, not incremental change.

This systems change requires us to transcend the dominant paradigms and reset the purpose at the heart of our interconnected economic, social, and political systems...

To align each so that it regenerates people & planet.

Sustainable & Inclusive Eye Care
Realizing optimal eye health for all — a goal which impacts on productivity, education, and safety — is a critical social, economic, and development issue.
