Forum for the Future is a British sustainable development charity. It was founded in 1996 by Jonathon Porritt, Sara Parkin and Paul Ekins and is now run by Chief Executive Peter Madden. Its vision is of "businesses and communities thriving in a future that’s environmentally sustainable and socially just". It runs partnerships with some 120 recognised organisations across business and the public sector to incorporate the principles of sustainable development. Forum specialises in futures work, innovation and capacity building, and it also runs a Masters course, 'Masters in Leadership for Sustainable Development', which has been running since the inception of Forum for the Future 12 years ago. It publishes a magazine called Green Futures which highlights news stories on the environment.

Forum has staff based in 3 offices - London, Bristol and Cheltenham and in 2008 launched its Sustainable Cities project based in the Bristol office.
