Today, the Project accomplishes its mandate by connecting individuals and institutions around the world to collaborate on research to address important global challenges. Since 1996, about 3,500 futurists, scholars, decisionmakers, and business planners from over 60 countries have contributed with their views to the Millennium Project research.

📢 FEN Exchange on
The Foresight Europe Network (FEN) invites members and external foresight practitioners to join the upcoming FEN Exchange on 24 September at 4:00 p.m. CET.

This month’s session connects directly with Global Challenge 1 of The Millennium Project, Climate Change, a core area of continuous research for the organization illustrated in the recent State of the Future 20.0 publication.

Centering on the United Nations Environment Programme’s report, Limiting Overshoot – Navigating exceedance of 1.5°C and pathways towards return, the meeting will address how—while limiting global warming to 1.5°C remains a cornerstone of the Paris Agreement—current policies and alternative near-term trajectories indicate that an exceedance of 1.5°C is now widely assessed as unavoidable.
