Transformational changes in the pursuit of climate resilient development pathways  involve interactions between individual, collective and systems change . There are complex interconnections between transformation and transition , and they are sometimes used as synonyms in the literature . Much of the transitions literature focuses on how societal change occurs within existing political and economic systems. Transformations are often considered to involve deeper and more fundamental changes than transitions, including changes to underlying values, worldviews, ideologies, structures and power relationships . Systems transitions alone are insufficient to achieve the rapid, fundamental and comprehensive changes required for humanity and planetary health in the face of climate change . Transformative action is increasingly urgent across all sectors, systems and scales to avert dangerous climate change and meet the SDGs  . The SR1.5 identified transformative change as necessary to achieve transitions within land, water and ecosystems systems; urban and infrastructural systems; energy systems; and industrial systems. This box summarises key points in the transformations literature relevant to CRD.
