After 1500 blog posts on sustainable/ethical business, what’s next?

Three years ago, when I hit the 1000 post mark, I penned this post with some conclusions I drew then.

Looking back, much of what I wrote then seems a little trite now.

The list is quite communications-focused, which I find embarrassing.

What should my list be, I wonder, at the 1501 post milestone?

Nothing on communications. I couldn’t be less interested these days in ‘authentic communications’, except when it accompanies something significant (disaster or breakthrough).

So, in no particular order, the big sustainability issues that may occupy my next 1500 posts.

Many of these are of course interlinked.

• Climate policy, regulation and the end, at some point, of fossil fuels.
• The role and activities of large companies in preventing deforestation world-wide.
• Technology / power / waste innovation, the changes that will be truly significant in delivering step change. 
• Process, product and service innovation for sustainable business.
• Sustainable infrastructure and resilient cities, what that means, how it can happen. 
• Agribusiness and changes in market structure, big company behaviour towards supply chain.
• Smallholder farmers and how they can be persuaded to keep farming the crops we need. 
• Ethical trade beyond audits to genuine engagement.
• Oceans, from pollution to biodiversity to climate role.
• Sector approaches to sustainable products and services (e.g. car sharing) as activity deepens and becomes more mainstream. 
• Stakeholder engagement in general: From vulnerable communities to dodgy governments.
• How and when companies will actively and consistently join the ‘good lobbying’ agenda, and the issues that throws up.
