“Transformational change” is needed for meeting ambitious 2030 climate mitigation, sustainability and development goals. Definitions of transformational change in scientific and grey literature have the following in common: (i) movement away from the current status, opening new pathways; (ii) sustained change, through institutionalization or deep changes; (iii) focus on root causes; and (iv) harnessing knowledge and learning.
