2050 Forums Returns to Sundance to Catalyze Positive Impact Globally, Partners With Grit Daily House for SXSW

During Sundance Film Festival 2023, global business development and marketing agency Feedia relaunched the 2050 Forums to aggregate thought leaders, cultural leaders, and investors to begin to form the building blocks of global coalitions to address these and other of humanity’s greatest challenges.

2050 may seem like the distant future, but in reality is only a couple of decades away. (The year 2000 was about two decades ago.) What legacy will we leave to our family’s? What future will we set humanity up for?

These outcomes are yet to be determined but are being decided across the globe at this pivotal moment.

The UN and the climate community say that if we don’t reduce our carbon footprint to “Net Zero” by 2050 then the temperature of the earth will rise by more than 1.5 degrees and we risk setting off catastrophic climate change, we are already feeling the effects of this across the planet. These statistics are jarring at best and at worst are a direct wake up call for humanity to take action:

• According to the Anti-Defamation League, “2021 was the highest year on record for documented reports of harassment, vandalism and violence directed against Jews.”
• The Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism reports: “Hate crimes rose 44% last year in major cities.”
• According to the Journal of Global Health “500 million people lack access to menstrual products and hygiene facilities.”

The 2050 Forums, which was initially launched in 2019, is a global event series guided by the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDG’s) designed to drive awareness and action toward reducing the world’s carbon footprint and other areas of global significance while providing brands, thought leaders, and influencers the ability to create targeted awareness campaigns via a flexible and evolving global event, thought leadership, and content series produced by Feedia.

The 2050 Forums @ Sundance which was hosted at Park City, Utah’s Lighthouse, Misfit House and Macro Lodge, was sponsored by The Magic Fund, Upstaged, Culture Shift Labs,  Origen Vodka, Ocean Box, Wise Logistics, Lights, Camera, Diaspora, Value Culture, Uncle Nearest, Talent X, Axxess,Canex, and Afreximbank.

To produce the 2050 Forums @ Sundance 2023, Feedia partnered with ME Ventures, Fusicology, Grit Daily, Block Telegraph, Esaiyo, Could You?,Misfit, L I G H T S P A C E, Gaia House, Pixel Ray Studios, Ahura AI, Next Narrative Africa, Zenspirations, Crypto Miami, The African Renaissance Diaspora Network.

 This robust global coalition formed to spark dialogue and convene “Parties with a Purpose” to focus the collective energies of humanity and rally our specie to fight against some of humanity’s greatest challenges.
