Join the Mission

Official metrics are yet to be defined by the mission team and additional key stakeholders. This will occur upon commencement of the mission projects and will be influenced by data derived from baseline studies of the systems relevant to each mission.

Economy

The work of those in trade-based roles is foundational to the thriving of our community. This mission sees UL play an active role in propagating sustainability-led trade education within the region. In doing so, the local community will experience both an increase in educational opportunities and an increase in capacity to deliver trade-based services.

By 2030, UL will have co- developed a trade school that supports the growth of sustainability-based vocations within local communities.

The mission model is a structured framework that guides the development and execution of each mission. This model allows for a flexible and dynamic approach to mission-based work, where diverse stakeholders can come together to create positive change.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 global goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to promote sustainable development and address social, economic, and environmental challenges. Each mission and associated project within the Mission Lab portfolio is directly linked to one or more SDGs, ensuring all efforts are in service of true impact.

Toolkit

Futures Triangle

Each tool in the toolkit is designed to help teams understand systemic challenges, imagine possible futures, and create strategic interventions to drive positive impact in support of each mission. Download this tool to start your journey toward creating a sustainable future, together.

Ready To Get Started?

Explain the futures triangle, a tool that maps signals and drivers of change in three categories: push of the present, weight of the past, and pull from the future.

INTRODUCE THE FUTURES TRIANGLE

Identify signals and drivers of change at landscape, system, and organisation levels, as well as under sociocultural, technological, environmental, ethical, political, legal, and economic areas.

IDENTIFY SIGNALS AND DRIVERS

Categorise the identified signals and drivers under the three corners of the futures triangle: push of the present (current forces shaping the future), weight of the past (legacy influences), and pull from the future (emerging opportunities and challenges).

CATEGORISE SIGNALS AND DRIVERS

Using the identified signals and drivers of change, create a series of relevant issues by identifying tensions or contradictions between the three corners. Specifically aim to identify combinations of signals or drivers across the various areas to ensure novel issues emerge in the discussion.

GENERATE ISSUES OF RELEVANCE

Take each of the identified issues of relevance and discuss the potential impact each one may have on the existing system. Consider the relationship between issues to explore indirect and non-obvious impacts.
