for establishing a new publication entitled 2030 to focus on news and tools for agents of impact
Founded by seasoned journalists and media executives, 2030 will be a new online publication for agents of impact — people who are mission-driven, solution-oriented, and digitally proficient and want to make positive social and environmental impact. 2030 plans to launch on medium.com in early 2017 and thus create new media platform and outlet for the "impact" sector (broadly defined). 2030’s critical yet constructive coverage of issues will enhance the knowledge ecosystem and provide an important new channel for the dissemination, curation, and debate of research and ideas about creating impact.
