ABOUT US
For more than 25 years, Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future (SF) has been a bridge between stakeholders of all kinds and the international intergovernmental forums where sustainable development, and in particular the environment and issues related to its good governance, are debated, global goals are established, and strategies are mapped out. Our work aims to enhance open, accountable, and participatory decision-making and good governance for sustainable development through the continuous involvement and participation of stakeholders in these forums and in the actions that flow from their work. To achieve those aims, SF is guided by a Board of Directors with decades of experience internationally and in their home countries, further informed by Fellows and Associates from a wide range of fields, and we work closely with the intergovernmental bodies and UN Member States that strive for global environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
