Together, we can drive lasting change towards a just and regenerative future

Despite pockets of progress toward tackling the most pressing social and environmental issues of our times, the world remains wildly off track. As Earth passes six of its nine planetary boundaries - and as COP28 rapidly approaches - it's clear we are falling short of what’s needed to deliver lasting change at scale and pace. Why?
 
At Forum for the Future, we believe that too many interventions – while well-intentioned – have been both shallow and piecemeal, addressing specific problems in isolation but failing to take enough collaborative action to tackle the root causes of the challenges we face.
 
Against this backdrop, Forum’s mission to accelerate the transition to a just and regenerative future has never been more relevant – or urgent. For more than 27 years, we’ve focused on change: what it means, why it’s needed and how to do it. With a dedicated team of sustainability experts working out of the UK, US, Singapore and India, we’re focused on accelerating three potentially pivotal transitions already at play - food, energy and the purpose of business - and bring a unique expert blend of futures and systems thinking. 
 
We know that businesses, non-profits, governments, investors, civil society and others working alone cannot shift the dial. But we believe that by joining forces in new and innovative ways, we absolutely can. That’s why Forum works hand in hand with ambitious changemakers such as you.
 
Why not take a look at Forum’s latest insights on 2024 trends to watch in the food, energy and business space, and get in touch to explore how we can partner together at this critical time? Whether through one-to-one business partnerships focused on your sustainability strategy, coaching programmes to equip your organisation’s leaders with the skills needed to thrive in a very different future, or by joining one of our groundbreaking cross-sector and pre-competitive coalitions, we’re here to help you on your sustainability journey. 

The food transition: influencing how we think about, produce, consume and value food

Examples of the climate crisis being here and now are all around us. Take New York City, which felt the brunt of the sun and rain in the span of three months. India, where some rice exports have been banned. Europe, where the olive harvest is one of the worst ever. The list goes on. 

As the world’s population continues to grow, how do we ensure we produce enough safe, nutritious and affordable food for everyone while preserving the Earth? Forum works alongside players across the food value chain to find approaches to food production that optimise health and nutritional outcomes while restoring the ecosystems and farming livelihoods on which we depend. 
 
Working alongside leading food brands, retailers, farmers and many, many more, we’re reframing food narratives and unlocking barriers in the transition to regenerative agriculture. 
 
Growing our Future US and UK, and Protein Challenge Southeast Asia are just a few examples of our work in action.
