State of the Future
Jerome C. Glenn and Theodore J. Gordon
The 2002 edition of the State of the Future addresses in a coherent
and forward-looking way many of the issues that impact on the evolution
of our planet and the people living on it. At a time of accelerating globalization
and an increasing need to organize our societies accordingly, it is essential
for policy-makers at all levels to be able to rely on such solid analysis
of global trends. The study is a good example of building collective intelligence
based on a large network across the world.
Philippe Busquin, Commissionner for Science & Technology
The European Commission
2002 State of the Future is a unique resource
for those who care about global change and improving the future. It provides
an assessment of the human situation as a whole, prospects for the future,
and actions for today. It is used by both those who need the most precise
briefings and those who want the full research background. Each chapter
in the book is an executive summary of more complete reports in the CD-ROM
section of about 2,000 pages. As a result, it provides a common platform
for global actors, educators, and the concerned public to use in building
more coherent policy.

“The State of the Future distilles both
foresight and genuine wisdom for humanity’s common future - from a global,
multi-cultural collegium of advanced thinkers assembled by the Millennium
Project. A major social innovation.” (Hazel Henderson)
“Scouting the future frontier into which we so
slowly moved wasn't particularly challenging yesteryear. Hugely different
now; more so tomorrow, as this book reveals. It is an eye opener:
sober, challenging, exciting, appropriately scary. It's something
you should read if you expect to go along, especially if you would
like to affect the route.” (Doug Engelbart)

Feasibility
report
Concluding report of the feasibility of
the Millennium Project
The following, two-round Delphi inquiries were
conducted to gather judgements from an international panel consisting of
futurists, scholars, and interested participants. The panels provided fresh
judgements about developments likely to be important to the future size
of world population and the environment, and an early perspective on policy
options germane to each.
