Who we are
FDSD is a research and advocacy charity working to equip democracy to tackle the challenges of sustainable development.
We believe that current systems of democracy, with their short-termism and over-emphasis on one kind of economics, are poorly prepared for challenges like climate change, resource scarcity and an ageing and growing population.

FDSD researches workable reforms, builds coalitions and works with others to make the case for practical changes.
