We develop collaborative processes for learning and leading across existential threats.
About us
At Horizon 2045, we develop collaborative processes for learning and leading across existential threats. We're an interdisciplinary team that forged an understanding of the interconnectedness of existential threats by starting out on one of the hardest problem spaces we could find: nuclear weapons. In the process, we learned that many of the behaviors and mental models driving the nuclear weapons systems underpin other entrenched systems as well. We realized that every existential threat we face--from catastrophic climate change to grim biodiversity loss, from nuclear weapons to pandemics, from rising autocracy to uncontrolled Al-requires that we ask ourselves the very same questions about human responsibility, our obligations to the planet and to one another, and our relationship with future generations. The processes we've developed to support decision-making in the 'polycrisis' reflect our best answers to those questions. Horizon 2045 is a collaboration between N Square, the Nuclear Threat Initiative, and Rhode Island School of Design’s Center for Complexity and is funded by the Skoll Foundation and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

If you're in the Vancouver area check out the immersive art installation, 'the bomb.' We are proud to have supported this initiative since its inception and celebrate the fact that 'the bomb' has been provoking public engagement about the atrocious effects of nuclear weapons for nearly a decade. 'the bomb' will be on exhibit at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, marking its second stop on a global tour of academic institutions. #horizon2045

In #farfutures contributor Andrew Liptak's story we are hurtled past the moon to the site of a rogue nuclear weapon, here used as a device for exploring what it could look like if we humans set aside tribalism in exchange for a future where mutually assured destruction is not a path forward.

Have a listen to a different kind of #farfutures contribution: an original classical music composition by Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, Peace Symphony. How can music and sound open us to new possibilities when it comes to imagining our way out of existential threats and into better protopian futures? https://lnkd.in/gu7-RrYn #horizon2045

With change, which Heraclitus reminds us is constant, comes both challenge and opportunity—as each of the Horizon 2045 November News highlights illustrate in some way: At a time when democracy’s perils are deepening, we are launching exciting new foresight work to better understand the possible future(s) of democratic systems in the United States. Our work to bring legal and policy experts from across planetary risk spaces together in new conversation and new coordination around the polycrisis just accelerated. And as this month’s inspiring Far Futures story reminds us, sometimes “activism and imagination … transform our breakthrough[s] into a broader movement for change.” The power to create that broader movement is in our hands.
