Let’s collectively avoid future regret
If we’d acted sooner on the data we knew, we could have avoided the climate catastrophe that we now face.
Similarly, the impact of our technological advancements is also there to be seen – but not widely known, and not widely acted upon.
Our mission is to help humanity avoid sleepwalking into yet another “if only we’d acted sooner” moment.
