This paper summarises research conducted by the New Economics Foundation that was undertaken to inform the Inquiry's work in exploring the relationships between civil society, social justice and climate change.
In partnership with the Young Foundation, the Carnegie UK Trust co-hosted the launch of a new report by Michael Edwards Just another Emperor? The myths and realities of philanthrocapitalism
Funded by the Carnegie UK Trust, the Young Foundation launches its report Discovery, argument and action; how civil society responds to changing needs.
This report details the findings of a futures workshop for young people designed to explore their views of what the future might hold for civil society.
25 young leaders aged between 16 and 21 participated at the Inquiry event held during 29-30 September 2007 in London.
This report analyses the drivers of change and how they might affect civil society, looking out to 2025. Drivers of change are forces (social, technological, economic, environmental, political or organisational) that may affect civil society for good or ill.
Drawing on the findings of the report 'The shape of civil society to come', this report describes a number of scenarios that are designed to illustrate what the future might hold for civil society, looking out to 2025. The purpose of the scenarios are to stimulate further deliberation about what actions might need to be taken now to take advantage of emerging opportunities or diminish possible threats to civil society.
Hard copies of this report can be requested from morven@carnegieuk.org
This report outlines how the Inquiry's futures materials and scenarios might practically be used by civil society associations to inform strategic thinking. The paper also signposts readers to useful resources that outline the practice of futures thinking.
