«A review of the trends of the 30 variables used in The Millennium Project’s global State of the Future Index (see Box 1) provides a score card on humanity’s performance in addressing the most important challenges.
The State of the Future Index is a measure of the 10-year outlook for the future based on historical data for the last 20 years. It is constructed with key variables and forecasts that, in the aggregate, depict whether the future promises to be better or worse.

It has been produced by The Millennium Project since 2000». Leia mais.
E sobre o The Millenium Project´s: «The Millennium Project connects futurists around the world to improve global foresight. It was founded in 1996 after a three-year feasibility study with the United Nations University, Smithsonian Institution, Futures Group International, and the American Council for the UNU.
