Our Mission: To confront global threats imperiling humanity by seeking solutions, strengthening alliances, and spurring actions needed to safeguard the future. Global threats have the potential to kill or debilitate very large numbers of people or cause significant economic or social dislocation or paralysis throughout the world. Global threats cannot be solved by any one country, they require some sort of collective response. Global threats are often non-linear, are are likely to be come exponentially more difficult to manage if we don't begin making serious strides in the right direction in the next 5-10 years. We work proactively to find, initiate, or co-create breakthrough ideas and/or activities that we believe will have large-scale impact, either directly or indirectly, and whether on cross-cutting issues or individual threats
