FERN is busily building a global network of the world’s leading experts supported by all people united in a common concern for the future of humanity.
FERN relies on the wisdom of crowds and aggregates results from deliberative peer-reviewed committees to measure risk, impact, timeframe and resilience to ten key existential threats. Based on collective knowledge and new approaches to deliberative and participatory polling, this network will curate an invaluable dashboard of timeframes and strategies for global action led from the ground up.
As well as offering participatory action for concerned citizens, FERN offers experts a publishing platform for peer-reviewed insights that are lightning fast and more inclusive compared to traditional scientific method. As we grow, we become stronger.
