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.
