| Our Mission | Framtiden’s founding philosophy is that every individual has the capacity to contribute to changing today’s ruinous trends, if we start by accepting our share of responsibility for the future and then join others in working for change, based on the following values: - A commitment to an active consideration for our fellow human beings, instead of competition; - Equal rights for all; - Shared responsibility for the environment. |
| Areas of Work | We focus on consumption, fair distribution and business ethics. Information and awareness is achieved through advocacy and debates in schools, political assemblies, social media, TV, radio and newspapers. |
| Project Highlights | Two main project entities: 1. The Ideas bank-foundation (N) which has collected and distributed good examples of sustainability projects since 1987, mainly towards the local government level, but also towards local communities and individuals. 2. Program for Research and Documentation for a Sustainable Society (ProSUS), funded by the Research Council of Norway, and located at the University of Oslo. |
