Transitions\u201d<\/strong>, the 2026 Forum asks how\n sustainability transitions can become more attentive to gendered experiences, unequal access to\n resources and decision-making, and the leadership needed to translate inclusion into institutional\n and societal change.\n <\/p>\n <div class=\"quote-box\" style=\"margin-top:28px\">\n <strong>Sustainability transitions are not only
