ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
We have noted that many organizations and their research are focused on the threats, risks, and the generally bad outcomes to humanity. Little appears to be focused on what a positive future could look like, growing those ideas, and considering how we can make those futures more likely to become real.
Existential Hope was created to collect positive and possible scenarios for the future, so that we can have more people commit to the creation of a brighter future, and to start mapping out the main developments and challenges that need to be navigated to reach it.
Our aim is to empower coordination towards flourishing futures, and we created this platform to invite you to join us in exploring positive futures, exchanging ideas, and joining a global community of future-positive organizations and projects.
