FT Rethink

Transitioning from a WILD to a CLIC™ Economy

Our current economic model is wasteful, idle, lopsided and dirty. It is WILD. But we believe a transition is underway to a circular, lean, inclusive and clean economic model. We call it CLIC™. By investing in low-carbon and clean-tech innovation, as well as in carbon-intensive companies that are transitioning to net-zero, we can pave the way to a better future. A future that focuses on a triple bottom line: planet, people and profit.


As the world changes at lightning speed, the FT Rethink series explores how to navigate transformative shifts shaping the future, from geopolitics and climate to industry, energy and health. The channel alternates between independent reporting from FT journalists and business perspectives from Lombard Odier.
