Through our online community, free and open to all, we will build truly global and inclusive participation in the Forum for Global Challenges.
Join the conversation
Join us for a unique programme of events and discussion, as we build towards the inaugural Forum in Birmingham, 2 - 4 May 2022.
The Forum for Global Challenges is an ambitious international conference that will generate and share solutions to some of the most pressing challenges faced by our planet and its people, from climate change and destruction of the natural world, to poverty and rising inequalities, and the effects of the global pandemic.
By focusing on designing, sharing and scaling tangible solutions to global challenges, the Forum will lead to real change.
Our cross-sector and interdisciplinary model will help bring new perspectives to current intractable challenges in industry and policy.
The Forum is built on genuine public and civil society participation, to ensure local communities drive solutions that are relevant and appropriate in their local context.
