Chapter 2 explores visions and vision development processes for transformative changes in society. Visions are desirable future states of nature and people shaped by values and worldviews. They include defined purposes, goals and intentional efforts to attain such future states. Actors and groups of actors, shaped by contexts that determine their thinking and practices, develop visions and pathways through multiple processes. Diverse visions illuminate the interdependence of humans-in-nature for a just and sustainable world and help guide policy and decision makers in transformations to address biodiversity loss and nature’s decline. Visions assessed in Chapter 2 come from multiple sources: peer-reviewed and grey literature, civil society initiatives and social movements, alternative economic perspectives, spiritual and religious traditions, fiction, arts, urban and rural coalitions and Indigenous Peoples and local communities. These visions address themes such as oceans, land, economy, ecosystems, technologies and rights for nature.
