Future Stewards
A coalition of partners working together to build a regenerative future – where everybody can thrive within the means of the planet.
Future Stewards has partnered with TED on Countdown: a global initiative to champion and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis, turning ideas into action.
Future Stewards is a Founding Partner of Count Us In: an ambitious campaign, aiming to mobilize 1 billion people to take practical steps to reduce their carbon impact and persuade others to do the same.
Regenerative Pathways is a Future Stewards initiative. Its mission is to support business in becoming more regenerative.
Our story
Future Stewards came together in 2016 after the breakthrough Paris Climate Agreement as a collaboration to help leaders step up to the challenges of our changing world.
Despite incredible progress over the last few decades in many aspects of life, humanity’s current trajectory will not serve in a world of 9+billion people, where we all need to thrive within the means of our planet.
Our aim is to build a network of visionary change-makers to build a regenerative future – and achieve the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement. We work with people taking bold action on complex problems.
Our projects bring together the deep experience of our partners with a rich network of organizations.
What we do
We draw upon the complementary skills and experience of our partners – to drive bold action in response to problems for people and the planet.
We equip people – as individuals, businesses and communities – with the awareness and tools required to tackle systemic problems. We show them what’s possible with practical examples, scaling what works, and building networks that engage business, society and governments.
