Transformational change is not only possible but already happening
As sustainability enters a new era, shaped by shifting global trade rules, evolving climate policy, and growing demands for equity, the need for transformational change has never been more urgent. 

Since launching the Future of Sustainability: Reimagining the Way the World Works in November 2024, we’ve been spotlighting bold initiatives that challenge the status quo and offer glimpses of a better future. At the heart of the campaign are 30 ‘Bright Spots’ — real-world examples of transformational change across food, energy, and business. 

We've now revealed 18 of these Bright Spots. Dive in to explore the ideas and actions that have game-changing potential to reimagine the way the world works.

Bright Spots and the road to 2050

In a special Futuring Podcast episode, Alisha Bhagat, Futures Lead at Forum, speaks with futurist Cat Tully (SOIF), architect and foresight strategist Radha Mistry, and science fiction writer Madeline Ashby. Together, they explore what a just and regenerative 2050 could look like, grounded in real-world Bright Spots already driving change.

Watch this space for what's next on the Future of Sustainability

The Future of Sustainability campaign will reveal its final 12 Bright Spots ahead of COP30. We will also publish new analysis on what ground-breaking innovations, ideas and actions such as those demonstrated by the Bright Spots could mean for the creation of a more just and regenerative future. Stay in the loop through the campaign page.
