The Millennium Project is a global participatory futures research think tank organized as an independent, interdisciplinary, and trans-institutional information system, providing an international capacity for early warning and analysis of global long-range issues, opportunities, and strategies. The purposes of The Millennium Project are to assist in organizing futures research, to improve thinking about the future, and to make that thinking available through a variety of media for consideration in policymaking, advanced training, public education, and feedback––ideally to accumulate wisdom about potential futures. It is a “strategic global intelligence” system that interconnects global and local perspectives through its network of 65 Nodes and over 4,500 participants from around the world.
State of the Future
This synthesis of global prospects is updated and improved since 1997. It is now also available online, updated in real-time in the Global Futures Intelligence System (GFIS) (www.themp.org). The State of the Future clearly and concisely covers what the educated person should know in the global age. It is a unique input for policymaking and those interested in global change. Teams of experts around the world collaborate to improve insights and strategies. It contains an executive summary, overviews of 15 Global Challenges, the State of the Future Index and other recent research by the Project. All of this is based on The Millennium Project’s cumulative research over the past 24 years with some 4,500 participants.
