Help us design a future of opportunities

The decisive decade is upon us. Our choices in this moment will define the nature of our existence on the planet for generations to come.

The Global Futures Laboratory is committed to creating a future of opportunities, not sacrifices. But we can’t do it alone.

Every person on Earth has a role to play. We invite you to contribute your talent, voice, energy or resources to helping us bend the arc of human history toward a vibrant, equitable and healthier future.

Technologies focused on mitigating climate change, including the capturing of carbon from our planet’s atmosphere, sits at the core of the Global Futures Laboratory’s research portfolio. The MechanicalTree,™ developed by Carbon Collect Ltd. and based on research by Klaus Lackner and the ASU Center for Negative Carbon Emissions, was installed on the ASU Tempe campus for initial testing to demonstrate its efficiency in removing harmful carbon from the air to help limit global warming.
