How can environmental movements tackle the climate crisis and social and racial injustice?
History has shown that crisis can be an opportunity for positive change. The RSA's ideas for innovation are about building bridges to a better future after the crisis has passed.
At the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) we believe in a world where everyone is able to participate in creating a better future, by uniting people and ideas to resolve the challenges of our time.
We do this by bringing together a global community of proactive problem solvers, supported by our Fellows and partners.
The Fellowship is a global network of 30,000 proactive problem solvers who share the RSA's vision and values.
