SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL NO 5 WOMEN AND GIRLS

Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

We have been working t0 empower  women and girls empowerment for  18 years.

We run regular training, conferences, events, policy creations, advise to governments, to global institutions and many of our policies have been taken up by governments around the world,
We also publish books, academic articles and proceedings.


Our Ongoing Research & Projects for Change


Developing methodologies and policies to help share the worlds wealth in a kinder more fair way. We believe in contraction of the over consumption of the worlds wealthiest and convergence of the worlds most needy to make a nicer, more decent, more healthy world and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We have been working on social justice perspectives for 18 years. There are many aspects to it. Refugees, flawed market policies, a failure to understand that if one person is sick it can affect every other human on the planet, everyone needs to have their basic needs met or it affects everyone.

We are one human family. The economy is a social construct. Welfare is a common need for the common good. The complexities of well being, health and everyone having what they need -not fulfilling greed – are what we work on in the institute to innovate in philosophical perspectives and understandings to change perceptions of how we sit inside nature- we are part of nature as we have been saying for 18 years. Nature will always bite back if we mistreat her. The reckoning is here. We must all change our treatment of nature- for today and for the future- we are just another mammal and many mammals are faced with extinction – we need to watch out and start to behave ourselves to avoid that fate. The pandemic is a ghastly and cruel warning – we are all in this together.

We had a  large delegation at COP28 in the UAE in November 2023. We work tirelessly to come up with new solutions to stop runaway climate change and are very active with our official United Nations Delegations to the climate conferences

We run regular climate change events, briefings, trainings and conferences.
Watch this space for more details

We have been part of COP26 Glasgow and COP27 United Nations UNFCCC climate conference. COP28 Climate Conference in Dubai. We had a delegation going to Baku, Azerbajan COP29 and we  had  one for Bonn, SB52 in Germany, June 2025 and Belem, Brazil, COP30 November 2025

Our house in on fire – we must put out the fire now as fast as possible.

Our International Areas of Operation

We work on the philosophy and background to economics and prevailing ideas and our global network of innovators and change makers has already influenced world debates and policies in this direction. 

This includes active work to prevent runaway climate change and we have a regular Research delegation to the UNFCC COP Conferences which works to further the ambition of the United Nations COP Process and hurry it along. We also work for the benefit of other species, the planet and also raise awareness of longer term thinking in economics, policy making and project impacts. 

Our Charitable Trust, founded in 2007, backs up this work by educating the public about the ideas we have come up with. We believe everyone counts and everyone matters, and our team is both inclusive and colourful. We walk the talk and practise what we advocate. We are an international network of 20,000 people and are always pleased to welcome new innovators, change makers and visionary thinkers at all levels
