In particular, employees judge the legitimacy of an organization's ethical
leadership and authority not only by
explicit communications received in the workplace but also by messages received via example and
practice.
These include reducing inertia in social and economic systems; building on a growing public desire for governments to act on climate change; removing implicit and
explicit subsidies; reducing the influence of vested interests that increase emissions and reduce resilience; enabling the shifts from ineffective governance and weak institutions to innovative
leadership in government, the private sector and civil society; and engaging society in the transition to norms and
practices that foster sustainability.
