Our approach

Transforming Tomorrow exists so there is an unprecedented period of experimentation with social, cultural, economic and political innovations. We want to be a catalyst in a multi-decade, structural transformation so global society moves from climate emergency to global prosperity.

Our aim is to build, with others, the capacities for transformation. There are two parts to our contribution. First, growing the number of mainstream institutions that have a shared purpose of catalysing transformation. Second, working with others on specific interventions that generate important capabilities, especially bringing in experiences and examples from the Global South.

Given that the required transformation is unparalleled, Transforming Tomorrow will discover forwards. We will be guided by our purpose, and an ethos of adapting and collaboration. We want to form a crucible for creating diverse prosperities together.

The direct outputs will be networks and institutions that are on-going vehicles on the path to global prosperity. These enhanced capabilities will enable many people and organisations to act for transformation, and so accelerate the global social process of moving beyond the status quo.

Our first wave of specific interventions includes:

  • An Africa Assembly, hosted by Strathmore University in Kenya, to describe plausible pathways to prosperous futures, and create a network of senior leaders who want to act for change;

  • A global network of academics who can bring diverse disciplines to address questions of transformation and help us all imagine different, better futures; and,

  • An AI-enabled search capacity which will find the inspirational examples of new institutions from around the world, and bring in missing voices, especially from the Global South.

We have already started to recruit a panel of Global Ambassadors, who provide insight on rising topics, and influence. We have our first four: Dr Richard Munang (UNEP, Africa); Cassia Oliveira Moraes (Youth Climate Leaders, Brazil); Rt Hon James Shaw (Minister for Climate Change in New Zealand); and David Nabarro (formerly UN Secretary General’s Special Representative).
