The International Futures Forum exists to develop the capacity to sustain human aspiration in a complex and challenging world. We believe that one powerful means of achieving this aim is to realise wise action in the face of the seemingly intractable, complex challenges that face our generation. It is all too easy to lapse instead into cynicism or despair. Thus we seek to take on the toughest issues: climate change and energy security, radioactive waste management, city regeneration, suicide and mental health, the future of learning.
Our work is always based around a committed individual or group of individuals who have the courage and the patience to take on these really difficult issues. We do not work in the abstract. Nor do we come up with neat solutions that nobody is interested in implementing. Yet we do believe that there is nothing so practical as a good theory, and so we work consciously at both the conceptual and the practical levels.
Our project work falls into the categories of health, learning, enterprise and governance. We also consider the IFF itself as a learning project. Further details of our project work are in the praxis area.
