Partners
Capital Institute is a non-partisan think-tank launched in 2010 by former JPMorgan Managing Director John Fullerton.
Together with our collaborative network, we are searching for a new narrative that will illuminate how our economy and financial system can operate to promote a more just, regenerative, and thus sustainable way of living on this earth. Our explorations are guided by modern science and grounded in timeless wisdom traditions.
The Club of Rome Impact Hubs harness the diversity of the Club’s activities and perspectives, of its members and the ecosystem which they belong. They serve as a creative impact space where Club of Rome members, associations and partners share transformational thought leadership and co-design solutions for impact.
The Flourishing Enterprise Institute
The Flourishing Enterprise Institute aims to be a planetary network of practice and applied research nodes to accelerate the development and mobilization of practical knowledge and research innovations to enable organizations and all their stakeholders to evolve toward a flourishing future for humanity and all life.
The FEI is led by professors and practitioners associated with the Strategic Innovation Lab at OCAD University, Toronto. FEI is hosted at Wilfrid Laurier University’s Viessmann Centre for Engagement and Research in Sustainability (VERiS) at the evolv1 Centre, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
Future Earth is a global network of scientists, researchers, and innovators collaborating for a more sustainable planet. Our focus on a systems-based approach seeks to deepen our understanding of complex Earth systems and human dynamics across different disciplines, and underpin systems-based policies and strategies for sustainable development.
The International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE)
The International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE), is a transdisciplinary partnership of scholars, professionals, and activists from a broad range of backgrounds. Through education, research, policy and social action, we foster transformation towards an equitable and ecologically sustainable society with respect for the rights of people and nature, biological and cultural diversity. At the heart of this, we recognise that our economy is part of a finite biosphere and needs to respect its ecological limits. ISEE is not-for-profit and member-governed.
Network for Business Sustainability
We share evidence-based sustainability guidance for business leaders thinking ahead.The Network for Business Sustainability is made up of 7,500 individuals dedicated to making business way more sustainable. We envision a world in which business activity results in thriving human communities that operate within planetary boundaries.
Business touches all corners of the globe. It can and must be a force for creating sustainable human societies. But “business as usual” is falling far short. We need new ways of thinking to propel us beyond the status quo.
The Network for Business Sustainability is uniquely positioned to create rigorous, relevant knowledge that pushes the frontier of sustainable business. Housed at the Ivey Business School, we have deep roots in both academia and practice. For more than a decade, our core team of faculty and staff has been creating space for members to co-create knowledge. The result is a huge collection of quality content, mobilized worldwide.
The Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP)
The Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) is an international non-profit organization that links researchers globally to enhance local capacity for policy analysis in developing countries.
PEP’s unique research support program empowers local experts to achieve the highest international standards of scientific quality, while building productive relationships with decision-makers at home.
The program is combined with a sophisticated web-based Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system, which enables PEP to oversee progress and assess impact of supported projects in three key areas: capacity building, research quality, and policy outreach.
The Forum is a growing global community of transformations enablers and initiatives. Our aim is to develop and make widely available the transformational infrastructure, resources and practical knowledge for all those involved in transformational journeys.
The Forum was initiated in 2017 with leadership from the global science community represented by Future Earth and the International Transformations Conference Series, a pre-eminent biennial meeting space. Forum stakeholders include those working for transformation through science, government, business, civil society, funders, and practice.
sLab (Strategic Innovation Lab)
sLab (Strategic Innovation Lab) is a centre of excellence for design thinking, strategic foresight & social innovation research and development in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
A new global collaboration of organisations, alliances, movements and individuals - working together to change the economic system. It’s time for a wellbeing economy: one that delivers human and ecological wellbeing.
