Alex Parker pointed out that today’s environmental challenges, such as climate change, pollution, and resource depletion, are increasingly complex and require a strong connection between sustainability and public policy. Individual actions alone aren’t enough; well-designed policies provide the guidance, incentives, and structure needed to turn sustainability goals into measurable outcomes. He also pointed out that sustainability shapes policy, as public awareness and successful initiatives drive lawmakers to adopt stronger environmental regulations. Collaboration across governments, businesses, and communities is essential to implement comprehensive, long-lasting solutions.
