ProjectsProjects

At Sustainable Future we carefully select issues where we consider we have the necessary expertise and commitment to add value in terms of the wider 'public good'. Since Sustainable Future was established, we have initiated four projects:  Project 2058, Project 2008Genetic Modification and Pandemic Management.

PublicationsPublications

We publish our findings in a number of ways. Project reports are published on this site and in hard copy. Think Pieces are an opportunity for any author to share his or her thoughts about a specific issue. The issue can be related to a project, a research topic or any other matter. The author can be a member of staff, an overseas expert or a New Zealander. Read more


Hot TopicsHot Topics

While projects reflect a specific interest, Hot Topics gather publicly available information about an area of public interest. We collect (i) facts and figures, (ii) highlight key issues and (iii) report key events and publications (what we call a timeline). Hot Topics vary widely; for example agriculture, energy, future thinking and waste. Read more


ResourcesResources

In achieving our purpose, the team at Sustainable Future rely heavily on the expertise of a number of people and professional institutions, many of whom have provided best-practice standards and guidelines. We have listed these as resources, both for ourselves and the general public. Read more
