The report examines how the polycrisis challenges the European Union’s sustainability transition. It focuses on transformative resilience, the ability to absorb, adapt to, and anticipate shocks while driving systemic change. The report explores how this approach can strengthen sustainability policies in three key areas: the energy transition, circular economy, and just transition. It proposes governance innovations, like dashboard-based assessments and strategic dialogues, to support resilient and transformative policymaking.
