Prospective 2100

What is Prospective 2100 ?

"Prospective 2100" is an NGO created in 1995 aimed at promoting foresight in decision making. A huge study, foresight of 21st century, published in 1990 under the sponsoring of the french ministry for research, anticipated a systemic disruption taking place in the first quarter of 21st century. This huge disruption is a shift in civilization, from the industrial age, based on materials and energy, to the cognitive civilization, driven by information technologies and facing a dramatic ecological desequilibrium. In this context, foresight appeared as a vital necessity, aiming at the adaptation of the way of thinking to the new context.
