WELCOME
This website displays preliminary results of an extended exercise that constructs and assesses scenarios of the human future grounded in values of economic justice, ecological integrity, accountable global governance and appropriate technology.
The exercise is a work-in-progress. Discussions are underway about ways in which it might be improved upon, about possibilities for collaborative scenario exercises, and about ways in which the results of such efforts might be made accessible to wider audiences.
This website is a temporary beta site. A more versatile site that will allow users to manipuate scenario variables is under consideration.
Comments and queries welcome. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss any aspects of this initiative.
