The Alternative Planetary Futures Institute (Ap-Fi) conducts horizon scanning, foresight research, and advocacy centered on planetary consciousness. 

This is accomplished under the leadership of our world-class scientific council and by the contribution of a volunteer planetary creative council (groups of individuals and organizations) around the world that connect planetary views and futures research to help expand imagination about the possible futures and build preferred futures. 

What we do and support:

• Networking among authors, artists, researchers, educators and scholars to think together about the planetary futures.

• Designing, developing and using frameworks for the planetary identity, the technological progress, and the scientific worldview.

• Providing inclusive and participatory systems to measure positive planetary change.

• Collecting resources, books and media that primarily explore the planetary futures.

In this unfolding Planetary Age, the traditional boundaries that have long defined human identity—nation-states, religious calendars, and politically drawn maps—are increasingly out of step with the interconnected reality of our times. Identity, for most of us, has been inherited: shaped by our gender, citizenship, religion, ethnicity, or even our favorite sports team. These categories have meaning, but they no longer suffice to express our evolving consciousness as inhabitants of one shared world.

At the Alternative Planetary Futures Institute, inspired by the tradition of Integral Futures, we believe that building a planetary civilization requires a parallel reimagining of the self. This is where the Terran Profile comes in.
