Fast Forward 2030 is a network of the next generation of leaders, who will be key to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

鈥淎chieving the听Sustainable Development听Goals听(SDGs)听by 2030听will require a concerted effort from everybody on the planet,鈥� says Professor听Dame Henrietta听Moore (UCL听Institute for Global Prosperity, IGP).听

鈥淲hile governments, large organisations and big business inevitably have key roles to play in this, we believe that the听most critical contributions听will听come from听the growing number of听small, fast-moving, innovative organisations that are springing up all over the world.鈥澨�

To harness and maximise these contributions,听in 2015听Professor Moore established Fast Forward 2030, a听network of听London-based entrepreneurs听hosted by听UCL听IGP.听听

鈥淲e need听to听inspire听the next generation of leaders who,听by 2030,听will be the shapers of institutions, directors of businesses, producers of knowledge and inventors of technology,鈥澨齭ays听Professor Moore.听鈥淭hey will be key to achieving the Goals.鈥澨�

鈥�鈥淲e encourage transformative enterprises that challenge the status quo and deliver sustainability and prosperity for all,鈥� says Professor Moore.听

Professor Moore launched Fast Forward 2030 in partnership with one听such entrepreneur,听Arthur Kay听(Bartlett School 2013), Chief Executive听of听bio-bean, a听biofuel听and听biochemical company听that听recycles听waste听coffee grounds.听Arthur co-founded bio-bean听in 2013 while a student at 皇家华人,听with support from UCL Innovation听&听Enterprise.听听

Through its听research,听website and听workshops, Fast Forward 2030听provides space for听policymakers, entrepreneurs and citizens听to share and听collaborate on new projects and solutions to ecological and social problems.听Organisations sharing resources and their innovative, sustainable approaches听on Fast Forward 2030鈥檚听online hub include听the UN,听fashion company听G-Star and听the听Ellen McArthur Foundation.听
