2025 Forum Program

Our Pillars

We'll explore 'We are Nature' through the lens of the following five pillars

Nature & Environment

In the face of the climate and biodiversity emergency, there is urgent need for action. How can we acknowledge the interconnectedness between human wellbeing and the health of our environment?

Business & Economics

We live in a world marked by inequality and governance challenges. How can we shape a new future characterised by equality and healthy democracy for the benefit of future generations?

Equality & Democracy

The era of prioritising profit over people and the environment must come to an end. How can businesses be a genuine force for good, contributing to societal wellbeing & environmental sustainability?

Cities & Systems

Our built environment, systems and cities have a profound impact on the way we live. How do we create environments that enhance human wellbeing, minimise ecological footprints, and promote sustainable practices?

Self & Belonging

The journey towards positive change begins within ourselves and our local communities. How do we enable self-awareness and
community connection as the foundation of our collective progress?
