Business as usual is wrecking the planet
Our current system is founded on unsustainable production and consumption patterns. The take, make, waste model of production is the main driver for climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.
The 2050 Foundation aims to contribute to a better world for all children in the year 2050.
A world in which we no longer have to drain natural resources, and with equality of opportunity for all.
Business can and should be a source of good
We need a new system that factors in the environment and the well-being of future generations.
We believe businesses can deliver innovation and the decisive action required to alter our current trajectory and be a driving force for positive change.
A threat to future generations
With depleted resources, destroyed ecosystems, and a decline in species globally, we can no longer sustain our current economic model.
To avert climate catastrophe and for the well-being of future generations, we need to make fundamental changes in the way we produce and consume our goods and services.
Building a better world for future generations
Global production must shift from destructive to regenerative.
By managing our natural resources responsibly and sustainably, we can:
- revitalize communities,
- restore nature,
- mitigate climate change.
We don't have the time or resources to waste on poor policies
Sustainability initiatives are often ineffective as they are based on incorrect and incomplete data.
To transition to a truly sustainable society, we must develop strategies based on sound and reliable data. Effective strategies require evidence-based solutions to ensure we are on the right track.
We need sustainable initiatives based on reliable data
With metrics that matter
Through grants and investments, we support initiatives with data-driven solutions.
With scientific research,
We support research that targets misconceptions about climate change mitigation.
