Our events

Below is a list of events designed to help our partners make sense of the change we are all experiencing, provide them with tools, insights and systemic approaches to help navigate the uncertainty of the status quo and the complexity of the decade ahead, and discover where to act for long-term success in the systems they are operating in.

We’re also working individually with partners and networks on supporting them in the transitional phase and helping them apply futures and systems approaches in designing post-Covid strategies, and defining the role they have to play their part in rebuilding global systems in a way that is sustainable, fair, and resilient.

The Five Capitals - a framework for sustainability

The Five Capitals Model provides a basis for understanding sustainability in terms of the economic concept of wealth creation or ‘capital’. Any organisation will use five types of capital to deliver its products or services. A sustainable organisation will maintain and where possible enhance these stocks of capital assets, rather than deplete or degrade them.

Reinventing the way the world works.

Forum for the Future is a leading international sustainability non-profit. We specialise in addressing critical global challenges by catalysing change in key systems, from food to apparel, energy to shipping. We do this by convening transformational collaborations to drive change, by partnering with organisations to help them lead by example, and by building a global community of pioneers and change makers.

Sustainability and system change

Climate change, malnutrition, inequality, poverty, ecological degradation. The global challenges we face are so urgent and tricky that we need a solution to match their scale and complexity. This is where system change comes in. We use systems thinking to understand the web of interrelations that create complex problems, anticipate unintended consequences, and identify how and where to take action to meet the SDG goals.

Characteristics of a sustainable business model

What is a sustainable business model? The term signals the need to go beyond innovating products or services, and change the fundamentals of how a business makes money.

Transformational strategies

Pioneering organisations create systemic impacts beyond their own boundaries. We help them understand the opportunities, and how to unlock them.

Protein Challenge 2040

The Protein Challenge 2040 is the first global coalition of its kind, aiming to tackle the question: How do we provide up to 10 billion people with enough protein in a way that is healthy, affordable and good for the planet?

Fashion Futures 2025

Working with Levi Strauss and Co using futures techniques to develop global scenarios for a sustainable fashion industry.

Net Positive

We reinvent strategies for a 1.5°C world. Our Net Positive approach helps business put back more into society and environment than it takes out. Unilever’s pioneering commitment to eliminate fossil fuels from its operations and directly support the generation of more renewable energy than they consume was driven behind the scenes by Forum.
