20/30 Visions
A series in which we ask global thought-leaders: how do we build a more sustainable and inclusive world by 2030?
The world of sustainability and impact has come a long way in the two decades since Bridges launched in 2002. But given the scale of the challenges we face, it's not enough.
If we are to have any hope of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 (the theoretical target) – or getting anywhere close to Net Zero – we need to go much further, much faster.
Our 20/30 Visions series explores what this needs to look like in practice. In each episode, we speak to a different expert or thought-leader from around the globe, and ask them: what needs to change if we want to build a more sustainable and inclusive future in the next decade? And how do we make that change happen?

20/30 Visions: The Rt Hon Nick Hurd on the role of Government
For this episode, we were delighted to be joined by the Rt Hon Nick Hurd, former UK Government minister and now chair of the G7 Impact Taskforce, to talk about the role of government and multilateral institutions in driving the change we need.
In our interview, we discuss:
- How the UK Government helped to accelerate two key markets in the UK
- Why better cooperation with the private sector has to be a key priority
- The positives from COP 27 - and the clear negatives
- The need for stronger accountability frameworks
- The critical importance of good leadership (both political and corporate)
- And more
