WHO WE ARE

Developing solutions for global challenges

Our Mission

The Victoria Forum is an ambitious and broad-reaching initiative to develop solutions to the global challenges of our times, in strong alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. By bringing together academics, policymakers, business leaders, Indigenous communities and civil society, with diverse experiences and points of view, we strive to develop ideas for a better world.

The Victoria Forum creates opportunities to explore the complex tapestry of challenges facing our world and search for solutions to them. While the threats we face are indeed stark, they also present opportunities for dialogue, collaboration, and the rebuilding of trust. Only by addressing the current trust crisis can we pave the way for a future that is not just shared but also prosperous and harmonious. In doing so, Indigenous ways of knowing, doing and being provide valuable insights.

Our Focus Areas

Our work is structured around three major, and often overlapping, themes, and reflect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The entire initiative is aligned with SDG 17 as it is built on a partnership model. The individual SDGs are mapped against our work streams as follows:

Regenerative Economy

Regenerative Economy

To reach the SDGs, the global economy must make significant new investments in ecosystem resiliency and social wellbeing. The Victoria Forum develops and promotes the emerging principles and practices of regenerative economics, bringing together local, national and global leaders from the fields of impact finance and systems innovation.

Peace & Democracy

Peace & Democracy

At a macro level we are seeing destruction of our social fabric and increasing attacks on our democracy. Whether through the rise of populism or escalating superpower conflict our world is fragmenting, and trust in our core institutions is eroding. The Victoria Forum is committed to bringing people with different perspectives and backgrounds together to develop solutions to these challenges.

Equity & Social Justice

Equity & Social Justice

At the heart of the divides we are seeing in the world are perceptions of unfairness and inequity. Building trust is necessary for healthy societies and requires that we pay greater attention to ensuring equity and justice for all.
