It runs partnerships with more than 100 organisations across business and the public sector to incorporate the principles of sustainable development.
From 1996 to 2016 the organisation ran a Masters course, 'Masters in Leadership for Sustainable Development'. This was run in partnership with the University of Middlesex and the Leadership Trust.[3] Forum set up the School of System Change,[4] a learning provider with offerings for mid-career professionals to learn how to become systems change-makers.
Forum for the Future[5] was founded in 1996, by Paul Ekins, Sara Parkin and Jonathon Porritt.[6] Its earliest members from 1996 to 1999 included a number of key influencers and decision-makers, Sir David Putnam, Richard Branson, Richard Rogers, John Selwyn Gummer, Dr Elaine Storkey, and Douglas Adams.
The Forum used to publish a magazine called Green Futures which highlights news stories on the environment, sustainable development and green innovation.
