Reimagining wealth, funding, and investment to speed up the transition to a fairer sustainable future.
In Emerging Futures we’re resourcing people and organisations, convening funders, platforming innovative practitioners, and commissioning work to help bring about a transition to a more equitable, just, and sustainable future.
In this part of the programme we want to explore how different forms of wealth, including philanthropic wealth, can be mobilised through alternative funding and investment practices to better serve people and the planet.
We also want to illuminate how and why wealth is accumulated in the first place, particularly in the context of the Great Wealth Transfer, and highlight extreme wealth and extreme poverty as interrelated manifestations of an extractive system.
We’ll be exploring the interventions needed for transformational change to ensure wealth is working in support of a regenerative economy that centres human and ecological wellbeing. These include:
Looking at perceptions of, and attitudes towards, wealth and wealth inequality — and how to increase public support for a fairer distribution.
New approaches to framing wealth inequality as a social problem could build political pressure for change.
A growing field of practice is reimagining the system of wealth and investment, speeding up the transition towards a future where people and the planet can flourish.
