Next Frontiers Conference 2024: Stewarding Wealth for People & Planet

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation Next Frontiers (both the conference and the podcast) is an invitation for people across the wealth ecosystem to come together, and think through what it could mean for wealth to play an active role in supporting and speeding up the transition out of our polycrisis to a more equitable and just future where people and planet can actually thrive. In the run up to the 2024 conference, Vicki & I were in dialogue with edgewalkers across the eco-system. In the podcast series "Stewarding Wealth for People & Planet" these edgewalkers were able to share different perspectives on what it means to be stewards of great wealth and power, in the context of the polycrisis, stewarding wealth towards people and planet and away from private profit.
