We can be more prepared to realise a better future under worsening conditions

Cohort 2040 undertakes research to understand the threats to the transition from escalating environmental chaos. We apply these insights in training and capabilities development across five areas.

  • Knowledge: How is the crisis making the world riskier and more complex?

    Growing environmental stress will present both threats and opportunities to realising a better world. It is important to anticipate this increasingly complex future.

  • Communication: What stories can help us navigate through complexity?

    Compelling stories will help us navigate through a complex, disorienting future. They can deepen cooperation in the face of a destabilising environment.

  • Connections: How can communities of practice deepen solidarity?

    Making connections across communities and perspectives will enhance a shared sense of purpose, even as threats to a just transition grow.

  • Resilience: How can we maintain our wellbeing amid complexity and crisis?

    The deepening crisis challenges our emotions, values, and focus. Effective solidarity requires strengthening our wellbeing and resilience of purpose.

  • Strategising: What's our plan in our workplace - and for the world?

    We need strategies to navigate our careers, workplaces, and the wider world through the deepening crisis. Strategising is best done together.

We are currently in a design and testing phase. Cohort 2040 is partnered with UCL’s Climate Action Unit who are leading this process. Get in touch to learn more.
