Event description

Co-convened by Arizona State University and the Earth League, the 2022 Global Futures Conference will bring together members of the public and private sectors, scientists, youth, and activists from around the globe to formulate a bold and actionable agenda to push the boundaries of discourse on what can and must be done now.

This will not be a passive forum. It is an opportunity to shape the agenda for governments, corporations, and multilateral institutions. Conference leaders will publish and promote a roadmap that outlines the far-reaching, crucial solutions developed at this conference–solutions that are simultaneously ambitious and achievable.
