Want to get involved in the Future Council?
Inspired by the film, and together with a cohort of young people from around the world, we are further expanding the Future Council.
The Future Council is a global movement of empowered young leaders inspiring and collaborating with business and institutions to create a better future. Our goal is to embed the Future Council into businesses, schools and institutions as the new normal, unlocking wonder and creativity, giving permission to dream, and motivation to deliver. Think of the Future Council as a moral compass within an organisation.

About the film
Millions of children around the world are frustrated by the dire lack of action to protect the planet and their future. Until now, their only avenue to express these concerns has been protesting on the streets. Director Damon Gameau (2040, THAT SUGAR FILM) invites eight children on an epic adventure across Europe in a school bus powered by biofuel. Their mission is to better understand the planet’s predicament, explore solutions and, most importantly, take the conversation from the streets, into the boardrooms of some of the world’s largest polluters and influential companies.
This inspiring and rollicking journey results in the children forming a ‘Future Council’ to advise and influence the world's most powerful companies on their decisions that impact nature. It is a coming-of-age journey that dares to imagine a brighter future.
