EP 72: Foresight in a Time of Coronavirus - The Millennium Project

COVID scenarios for the American Red Cross

We are all in unusual times at present and so today we are doing something unusual. Ordinarily our Futurepod conversations are with guests you have met before in earlier interviews. But today you are going to hear a conversation with people you have not heard from before. But hopefully we will get them back for a longer interview later on.

Jerome (Jerry) C. Glenn, Theodore (Ted) Gordon and Paul Saffo from the Millennium Project have just released a set of COVID scenarios for the American Red Cross. And we at Futurepod thought that these scenarios were important and hopefully useful for our listener’s that we changed up how we normally do things in order to get this to you as soon as we could.

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.
