Political agency is the capacity to positively influence the collective future by mobilising those at political level to take action for change. It involves navigating the political system, identifying political responsibility and accountability for unsustainable behaviour, and demanding effective policies for sustainability.
This competence requires the capacity to analyse the context, spot possible avenues to move the sustainability agenda forward, and identify key stakeholders that can be brought on board to help achieve sustainability. It can be focused towards advocating for a change in norms, rules, regulations, and institutional commitment for sustainability, and towards the market, pushing for green innovation or the promotion of lifestyle changes.
