The UN Summit of the Future, scheduled for September 2024, comes at a crucial juncture as our world grapples with a convergence of challenges. This high-level meeting aims to reinvigorate global cooperation and accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while recognizing “the opportunity that present generations possess…to meet the demands of the present in a way that safeguards the needs and interests of future generations”. As members of the philanthropic community, it is imperative that we engage with these global discussions and consider our role in shaping a more sustainable and equitable future.

We are pleased to invite you to a special reflection on the future, inspired by the United Nations Summit of the Future taking place in New York during the UNGA in the last week of September. This interactive session will include many of our important coalition partners:  Horizon 2045, WINGS Network, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies, the Decolonising Futures Initiative and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Speakers will share insights on the Summit and its key takeaways and address the critical challenges and opportunities ahead.

This is a unique opportunity to engage with leading thinkers at the nexus between future studies and philanthropy whose recent attendance at the Summit of the Future will provide a line of sight into the most important ideas and decisions shaping the future. We will explore how we can most effectively collaborate to contribute to the global agenda set forth by the Summit of the Future.

We look forward to your participation in this important conversation.
