Stated Aims

FORUM FOR THE FUTURE WORKS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LEADING ORGANISATIONS IN BUSINESS AND THE PUBLIC SECTOR. OUR VISION IS OF BUSINESS AND COMMUNITIES THRIVING IN A FUTURE THAT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE AND SOCIALLY JUST. WE INSPIRE AND CHALLENGE ORGANISATIONS WITH POSITIVE VISIONS OF A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE; DELIVER PRACTICAL WAYS TO REALISE THOSE VISIONS; AND TRAIN LEADERS TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE.

Context

Founded by fanatical environmentalist Jonathan Porritt, the Forum for the Future provides a livelihood for unelectable Green Party candidates and retired lefties. Porritt earns £63,671 as its Programme Director and climate change alarmism features prominently with the inevitable demands for greater government interference:

"Action by government and regulators is crucial to reduce the risk of a catastrophic environmental collapse and create the conditions for a truly sustainable economy"

Details

The Forum for the Future is exceptionally well-funded by a wide range of government departments. This is unsurprising since the charity's objectives of 'sustainability' and 'social justice' are indistinguishable from those of the present government.

• Central Government: £868,578
• Local and regional government: £775,062
• DEFRA: £109,976
• The Climate Change Project (DEFRA): £241,878
• Tower Hamlets: £42,683
• EU: £23,904
• --

It received just £1,300 in donations from the public.
