In particular, the impacts on supply chains and climate change must be assessed and communicated as transition advances. What will it enable? As the world shifts away from fossil fuel use, the sustainability transition will fundamentally reshape the value chain and there will be important considerations for mitigating harm to the environment, society and the economy.
