• Developing an enabling environment with new approaches and opportunities, particularly between cross-cutting policy portfolios, for business, workers, communities, policymakers and the wider public to take forward environmentally sustainable and inclusive economies and societies
• Being mindful of local context and utilising local knowledge, and the specific needs of different communities, sectors, countries and region
