The UK Chancellor’s recent Mansion House speech promised to “unleash the superpower” of Defined Contributions pension funds in order to “seize the opportunities of the future”. The proposed reforms and a new compact with leading pension providers aim to increase savers’ incomes and unlock billions of pounds of investment capital to fund high growth enterprises. But will this new policy direction deliver on its promise? And is it radical enough? This money is our pension savings; to what should the government decide it is invested? Will these reforms really give us a more prosperous life in retirement?  Join our panel of experts at the RSA to ask: what are the tools, incentives, structures and strategies that will prove most effective in creating greater opportunities for people and communities to thrive in a transformed global economy?#RSAPensionsBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueembDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thersaorg/Foll

The 2023 SDA keynote address will be delivered by UNEP Champion of the Earth and design disruptor, Dr Leyla Acaroglu.In her SDA keynote address, Dr Acaroglu will look at design ethics, systems change, circularity and designing a positive future that works better for all of us.As designers, she says, we have immense influence on society — we help to design the future through the things we do and don’t create every day. This offers infinite potential and equally infinite impacts that we must contend with. With such rapid technological and cultural change, how can design create the cultural conditions that facilitate positive change, address some of the biggest issues of our day and level up our role in shifting the status quo?Following the address, RSA CEO Andy Haldane and RSA Director of Design Joanna Choukeir will present the 2023 awards, sharing an overview of each winning project, and inviting the people behind these inspiring ideas on stage to receive their awards.The RSA Student Design Awards is a global

The world stands at a cross-roads, in urgent need of a compelling vision that can renew faith in democratic and liberal ideals, and galvanize collection action towards a better future for all.For economist and philosopher Daniel Chandler, the ideas we need right now are to be found in the work of one of the giants of 20th-century philosophy, John Rawls.In Rawls, he argues, we have an unparalleled, as yet untapped intellectual resource, and the basis for a genuinely transformative progressive politics that matches up to the scale of our social, economic and ecological challenges.Rawls offers us a map and compass for the journey to a future where democracy and economy are reinvigorated, prosperity is widely shared within the limits of our finite planet, and everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential.Join Daniel Chandler at the RSA to explore how we might make this ‘realistic utopia’ possible, and the steps we need to take to land there.#RSAdemocracyBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDona
