NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

We live in times of economic, social and environmental disruption. The economic model we have relied upon has been driving the triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. Time for systemic change has never been more urgent.

We require the power of collective imagination and open collaboration to move towards a future where global resource use becomes a driver for planetary wellbeing.

WRF’23 welcomes international policy-makers, businesses, scientists and civil society leaders to find innovative solutions and co-create a new story of sustainable, systemic change.
