SDG Future Visions For 2036
In May 2026, the Royal Society of Arts hosted the inaugural Future Sprint, bringing together Fellows, business leaders, UN representatives, students and changemakers to explore all 17 Sustainable Development Goals over seventeen days.
Participants collaborated in small teams to design future scenarios for how each goal could be achieved by 2030, creating visual Future Posters and presenting their ideas in short sessions recorded for publication and media.
The Future Sprint programme, led by Jordan Waid, Founder of The PRECOG Lab, using PRECOG future intelligence methodology, which combines cultural signal recognition, collaborative foresight and future scenario design.
By The Numbers
Results:
18 Total Future Sprints
112+ participants engaged
24 team Future Posters created
98.5% of participants said they learned something new
96.9% said the Future Posters opened up new possibilities
100% said they would recommend Future Sprint to others
Key Observation:
People are not disengaged from the SDGs.
They simply lack:
a place to contribute their perspective
a structured way to imagine and capture solutions
a platform to connect and collaborate across disciplines
Future Sprint demonstrated that when those conditions exist,
people don’t just discuss the future, they design it together.
