2022 Sun Valley Forum

Shaping the World We Need: Accelerating Action for the Decisive Decade

We’ve missed connection, inspiration, and the chance to spark new partnerships and strategies, and we looked forward to a wonderful few days together.

We gathered when the devastating war in Ukraine, the pandemic, and the already visible harms from climate change surfaced the dangerous consequences of our unsustainable, inequitable, and insecure world. We are called to take action.

Powered by an ambitious, courageous, and compassionate community of participants, the Sun Valley Forum has a record of catalyzing and accelerating impact. We leveraged the Forum to activate solutions for the now and for the rest of this Decisive Decade and beyond. Gathering diverse perspectives from near and far and across generations, we anticipated rapidly growing resilience for all communities and economies, holding each other accountable for the ambition and results of our collective action.
