About
E4F started to envision a world in which the economics community provides intellectual and analytical insights to help avert the worst of the climate and ecological crisis; and becomes a powerful force in accelerating the urgent transformation to a just and equitable, post-carbon world. We have now fully merged with Rethinking Economics International to take forward this mission.
We actively call upon the economics profession to mobilise more of its resources behind this task and show a greater commitment to the evolution of the subject by embracing new economic thinking fit for the planetary emergency. If you have followed our work before, help us continue it at Rethinking Economics International.

Research & Insights
Economists for Future is synthesising a case for change. To us, that means twofold: first, articulating and quantifying the ways in which the profession is currently failing to sufficiently engage in the planetary crisis. And second, analysing ways this could change. Research and insights from our team underpin the campaigns we run. The last update on this website was made in October 2026.

Thank you for your interest. As of the end of 2025, Economist for Future International has officially merge with Rethinking Economics International, a global movement and starting 2026 onwards, a membership-led organisation.
We felt this was a much needed change that also rests E4F mission is much credible hands -- a democratic, membership-led youth movement that is defiant, courageous and committed to the cause. We are stronger together as Rethinking Economics.
Unfortunately, because of the above merger, we no longer take separate applications for volunteers for E4F. If you have felt strongly about E4F's mission or have been following our work or what we publish, become a member of Rethinking Economics International!
