Global risk and hazard forecasting in the areas of socioeconomic, geopolitical and environmental instability using oscillations in social mood and perception-- The MoodCompass. The Context - Rapid Global Change In a rapidly changing world, subject to the forces of globalization, sustainability requires a concerted, proactive effort. On the local level, cities, sub-communities, and neighborhoods must have the foresight to adapt to these changes before crises are upon them— or face serious economic and social consequences. The Mission - Sustainable Society We keep abreast of the latest global trends from a perspective based in systems theory and geoscience and apply that knowledge to your city or community organization. Upon request, we give customized presentations to your group or group’s leadership to assist them in seeing the impacts that current events will have in their circle of responsibility. We detail those things in the immediate future that must be planned for to retain the quality of services that they find important or essential. Our primary interests are sustainable society and a sustainable future. We conduct research and educate the public towards making that a reality.
