Publications

Our Blueprints support the recommendations made at each Summit by collating relevant research and case studies and by providing a clear roadmap to implementation. We also produce pre-Summit Briefs intended to set the stage for the Summit conversation and Communiqués which are released at each Summit closing to summarize the vision of the contributors.

GENERATION SDG

The Generation SDG Communiqué captures some of the preliminary thoughts emerging from the Generation SDG Summit and includes:

Policy recommendations
Strategies for communities to map their existing ecosystems and develop robust community plans
Accountability frameworks
Principles for partnerships and innovation to achieve the SDGs

Over the next few months we will be consolidating our progress into a more comprehensive Blueprint document, in particular delving into the many policy recommendations that emerged.

LEARNING 2030

Imagine a world filled with creative, confident, and adaptable young leaders capable of addressing the challenges of a complex and fast-changing society.

To explore this future, WGSI published the Learning 2030 Blueprint - a document that provides clear recommendations on building a learning environment that fosters critical thinking, problem solving, and innovation. It includes:

An ‘ecosystem’ point-of-view to approaching learning that integrates students, teachers, and caregivers with their unique local contexts
Case studies that showcase innovations in education from a diverse array of individuals and communities with variable access to resources
Implementation pathways

Master of Design Experience Innovation students from the University of Waterloo Stratford Campus developed a digital platform for the Learning 2030 Blueprint at learning2030.org.

ENERGY 2030

Imagine a world with abundant, clean energy. How different would our human civilization be with fewer energy limitations – less risk of climate change, no peak oil, and more renewable ways to provide power to an exploding global population?

To explore this future, WGSI published the Energy 2030 Blueprint– a roadmap of some of the highest impact energy technologies that could scale over the coming decades, along with detailed implementation strategies that apply the latest scientific and technological thinking. It includes:

An energy ‘ecosystem’ point-of-view to approaching possible, lower carbon technologies
Potential pathways to help advance research, development and implementation of long-term energy solutions
Technical details that help convey the complexities, challenges and opportunities posed by a few transitional technologies and systems
