Green Futures

Green Futures is the leading magazine on environmental solutions and sustainable futures. Founded by Jonathon Porritt in 1996, it is published by Forum for the Future.

Every issue is packed full of stories, comment and insight on topics ranging from clean energy and smart design, to food and finance in a changing world.

Our readership includes key decision-makers and opinion-formers in business, government, education and the media, including leading CEOs, all UK MPs and MEPs. Our global reach is growing through online syndication deals with websites in the US such as Grist and Good.is, and print publications such as India’s Sustainability Tomorrow and Brazil’s Ideia Sustentavel.

You can read us in print four times a year, and we also produce regular Special Editions. These offer detailed insights into a range of hot topics from Brazil’s search for a sustainable future, to the positive case for carbon offsetting, the potential and pitfalls of geoengineering, to the future of food and farming in a changing climate.


The energy challenge: can we keep the lights on?

"Depressed by 'debates' where the panel ignore each other? The Battle of Ideas is the real deal - two days of verbal fistfights. Accept no alternative."
