State of the Futures Index
The Millennium Project publishes a report periodically assessing the current state of the world and projecting developments in the future. The 2008 report is to be published in August 2008; the website provides information on the report and a ten page summary. The report and accompanying CD are expensive, but the summary can be downloaded free. by Jerome C. Glenn, Theodore J. Gordon, and Elizabeth

Thank you for the post. UNESCO is one of our sponsors - we are currently proving our Real-Time Delphi software for UNESCO
s world water scenarios research.
The CD has 6,300 pages of global futures research - $49.95 is not expensive for that. The CD does not simply repeat the 10 pages of distill research, it presents all of the 12 years of research with the methods used and full details making the the largest and most details resource of the future of civilization ever published. Granted I am not objective but tell me what is a more comprehensive futures source?
I don't know of a more comprehensive source. Still, a fair number of the viewers of this blog live in Asia and some in Africa, and for them US$35 may be quite a bit of money. How about a special rate for people in poor nations?
I am also impressed by the UNESCO link!
