The GRFC’s Futures Fair for Business & Finance 2025

To move beyond the cycle of endless and often repetitive information-sharing, conferences, seminars, forums, and workshops, that have consistently failed to mobilise the financing needed to meet global goals and avoid what may well become another mass extinction.

We aim to do this not by pointing fingers, debating the science, lamenting the lack of strong proposals, or criticising the perceived incompetence of others. Nor do we wait for someone else to provide principle-based leadership. Instead, we focus on pooling experience and expertise across constituencies, disciplines, and sectors, contributing the best of what we each have to offer, together, through respectful and transparent collaboration.

Our approach combines the financial, scientific, and technical resources of those in the top third of the global demographic and economic pyramids with the natural assets, social capital, and lived experience of The Majority Tercile, the people under 40 and nearly half the world’s population, living in regions where the right kind of investment can unlock transformative, high-impact solutions. These are the investments that will accelerate progress toward global goals, ensure liveable futures for all, and bring lasting benefits to people, planet, and peace.
