The "Future of Sustainability 2020" webinar, held on July 22, 2020, explored whether COVID-19 accelerated or challenged the transition to a sustainable future. The crisis, devastating lives and economies—particularly informal ones—also presented a historic opportunity to reimagine how we rebuild.

Forum for the Future urged businesses, governments, and communities to create a more just, sustainable, and resilient world. Drawing on annual research, they highlighted the "Transform" trajectory as the sole path to achieve these systems. This approach recognizes interdependent challenges, aiming to shift political, economic, and social systems for human and planetary health, justice, and economic resilience. Now is the time for this transformative change.
