The Regeneration Roadmap, a collaborative and multi-faceted initiative by GlobeScan SustainAbility, aims to provide a way forward for achieving sustainable development within the next generation, focusing in particular on ways the private sector can improve sustainability strategy, increase credibility and deliver results at greater speed and scale.

Nearly 25 years after the Brundtland Commission released Our Common Future, and 20 years after the first Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, The Regeneration Roadmap assesses progress made on the sustainable development agenda and offers a new path forward.

This project is inspired by interviews with sustainable development Pioneers, The Ray Anderson Memorial Interviews, conducted over the last year and will include perspectives from a new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs.

The beauty and challenge of The Regeneration Roadmap lies in its design: a reflective process of progressive and participatory problem-solving whose outcomes will be substantial and valuable, but which will reveal themselves gradually.

We invite you to join us in the year ahead as we embark on a journey to explore the past, present and future of sustainable development.

In 2011, we interviewed 20 sustainable development Pioneers from business, government and civil society. These Pioneers, notable for their long term commitment to sustainable development,* generously shared their experiences and insights with us in a video series called The Ray Anderson Memorial Interviews, in honor of the late sustainable business leader, Founder and Chairman of Interface Inc., Ray Anderson.

Their collective wisdom forms the foundation of The Regeneration Roadmap. In these interviews, we talked to the Pioneers about regeneration: how to achieve it and whether there is still time. We heard about the sizeable hurdles as well as the incremental and more fundamental wins of the sustainable development journey over the last two decades.

The Ray Anderson Memorial Interviews were released weekly between March and Rio+20 in June 2012 through our official media partner, Guardian Sustainable Business (GSB) and on The Regeneration Roadmap website.

The Regeneration Roadmap is exploring the past, current and future state of sustainability leadership. For a list of all the planned and published research reports please visit the research section of The Regeneration Roadmap website.

Over the course of this year, GlobeScan and SustainAbility have lunched the following:

White Papers

	Unfinished Business Perspectives from the Sustainable Development Frontier In our first project white paper, we reveal our pioneers’ perspectives on progress made since the 1992 Earth Summit, highlight the need for business to take a lead in sustainable development and raise questions about the future.
	Down to Business Leading at Rio+20 and Beyond In this paper we assess expectations for the Rio+20 Summit by sharing the perspectives of over 1,600 sustainability experts from 117 countries, and nearly 25,000 members of the global public from 22 countries.

Global Surveys

	Global Expert Opinion Report on the State of Sustainable Development This authoritative survey of 1,603 sustainability experts from 117 countries provides a rigorous review of progress on sustainable development since 1992, the performance of various societal actors, most material issues going forward, and opportunities to accelerate progress.
	Global Expert Opinion Report on the State of Sustainable Development This quantitative study is based on nearly 25,000 interviews across the world with the general public in 23 countries and explores public perspectives on progress to date on sustainable development challenges, institutional performance, and expectations for the future.
	Re:Thinking Consumerism Consumers & The Future of Sustainability An in-depth online survey of consumer attitudes, motivations and behaviors relating to sustainable consumption among 6,224 respondents across six major international markets conducted in September and October 2012.

Bringing Rio Closer” research briefs

Our research briefs provide a closer look at the history of sustainable development through the United Nations Summit process. In each brief, we offer an overview of the event/report and describe the outcomes as well as the aims of government, business and civil society.

• Brundtland Commission
• Earth Summit 1992
• Johannesburg 2002
• Rio+20 (Expectations)

Between October and December, we will host a number of salons – curated, facilitated conversations with influential stakeholders from across industry and sector. These Salons will take place in major international cities across the world. We expect to limit attendance to approximately 50 people, on an invitation-only basis.

The outputs of the salons will form the basis of a roadmap for future sustainability leadership that is both clear and actionable. We will confirm the locations and timing with input from our sponsors and partners over the next several months. Stay tuned for more information.

The Regeneration Roadmap is a joint initiative by Sustainability and GlobeScan which would not be possible without the ongoing support of our many sponsors and partners.
