Over the past few years, the world has entered a period of heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainty. The United States appears increasingly focused on competitiveness, industrial policy and energy resilience, while ongoing conflicts, trade tensions and supply chain realignments continue to reshape the global business landscape.

Against this backdrop, sustainability has arguably become a less visible part of the public policy conversation, prompting questions about whether governments and businesses are beginning to leave the environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda on the back burner.

过去几年，世界经济和地缘政治不确定性加剧。美国似乎越来越关注竞争力、产业政策和能源韧性，而持续不断的冲突、贸易紧张局势和供应链重组则继续重塑着全球商业格局。

在此背景下，可持续性可以说已成为公共政策对话中不太引人注目的一部分，这引发了人们的疑问：政府和企业是否开始将环境、社会和治理 (ESG) 议程搁置一边。
