Shaping the future

Planetary Lab

At a moment where our economy reaches the planetary boundaries, geopolitical alliances are reconfiguring and technology is accelerating every transformation, our challenges are evolving faster than the concepts we use to understand them. The languages, categories and narratives inherited from the industrial age are no longer sufficient to think at the scale of the Earth. Welcome to the planetary age.

PLANETARY LAB PRODUCTIONS

Planetary Lab Purpose

Shaping the planetary concepts, frameworks and narratives that could support the transition toward Homo biospheris: a stage of evolution in which humanity learns to act as a conscious planetary collective and gradually assumes its role as a new organ of the biosphere.

The Blue revolution

This transition is what we call the Blue revolution: the civilizational process through which humanity may evolve from 8.3 billion Homo sapiens into Homo biospheris. The Planetary Lab has been designed to help catalyze this process.

Areas of research

01
Biosphere understanding
Gaia theory, biospheric sciences, Earth system science, interdependence and regenerative processes.
02
Collective human evolution
Consciousness, psychology, depth psychology, sociology, anthropology, myth, history, politics and geopolitics.
03
Planetary solutions
Planetary governance, regenerative business models, biomimicry, geomimicry, nature-based solutions, founding narratives, collective myths, worldviews, rites and technological systems aligned with the biosphere.

Moonshot projects

In 1962, J. F. Kennedy set what seemed an impossible goal: land a human on the Moon before the end of the decade and bring them back safely. In July 1969, it was done. A moonshot project is an ambition at the edge of the impossible, that redefines reality. The Planetary Lab has two.

  • Prove the existence of Gaia, the Biosphere
  • Create the AI of Homo biospheris

Strategic partners

Five partners to kickstart the lab

The Planetary Lab is seeking five founding organizations to support its upcoming work at launch. Results will be public.

In return, each partner funds research whose results belong to the commons, gains access to the research plan and a say in shaping priorities. They are also invited to two annual seminars with up to two members of their teams, a rare gathering with other visionary leaders and the researchers defining the next paradigms.

Together, let's make the Blue Revolution and Homo biospheris happen.
