One Species. Many Worlds.
My mission is to elevate humanity to its next evolutionary stage: a global society and a multiplanetary species.
The Planet Futures Organization - the first multiplanetary NGO of its kind - serves the global community by addressing Earth’s most pressing challenges while preparing humanity for life beyond our planet.
If this vision resonates with you, join me. Together, we can shape a future that benefits humanity on Earth and in the cosmos.
A Framework for Multiplanetary Civilization
Designing a multiplanetary civilization requires more than engineering. It demands governance foresight that matches the scale of human expansion. Explore the vision. Download the Strategic Future Paper.
The Civilizational Brief
Once a week, The Planet Futures Organization publishes the Civilizational Brief: a compact analysis at the intersection of space, governance, and the long-term future. More than 125 editions have examined questions most institutions are not yet asking, from European launch sovereignty to the legal vacuum around autonomous AI and the constitutional design of off-world settlements.
The Brief is read across the European space and policy community. It is published on LinkedIn and free to follow.
Shaping the future on stage
The future demands a stage. As a keynote speaker and moderator, I bring critical topics to global audiences, sparking inspiring panels and forward thinking discussions. Let’s shape the conversation together. Schedule a keynote or discussion for free.
From Earth to the Stars - Together
Lead by example in multiplanetary partnership.
Now more than ever we must look beyond our planet. Collaborating with The Planet Futures Organization offers the chance to develop innovative projects that benefit Earth and the generations to come.
Together we can pioneer solutions for space travel and interplanetary development.
By sharing ideas, mobilizing resources and building networks, we advance the sustainable and responsible use of space.
Join us to turn the vision of a multiplanetary future into reality and ensure all peoples on Earth share in its opportunities.
Main focuses
Six fields of work define The Planet Futures Organization. Each is developed publicly, week by week, in the Civilizational Brief.
Cosmonomy
The study of the order of living together beyond Earth: how law, legitimacy, economy, and culture can be constituted where no state holds territory and no precedent applies.
An original framework of The Planet Futures Organization, developed continuously in the Civilizational Brief.
Governance Across Generations
The hardest problems of our century outlast every electoral cycle. We design institutions that give the long term a voice, from temporal chambers to mandates for those not yet born.
Because a civilization that cannot plan beyond four years will not reach other worlds.
European Space Sovereignty
Launch capacity, orbital infrastructure, and the rules that govern them decide whether Europe shapes the next decades or watches them. We analyze where Europe stands and what strategic autonomy in space requires.
Concrete, current, and uncomfortable where necessary.
AI and the Rules That Are Missing
Autonomous systems are entering security, economy, and statecraft faster than any binding international law can follow. We map the governance vacuum and propose what must be regulated first.
Analysis before alarm, precision before panic.
Democratic Innovation
Deliberative participation, liquid democracy, citizen assemblies: democracy is a technology that can be upgraded. We explore how decision-making earns legitimacy at planetary scale and beyond.
Built on subsidiarity: decisions belong at the lowest level capable of carrying them.
Earth as the Reference World
Everything we learn about living beyond Earth sharpens how we protect life on it. Stewardship of biodiversity and planetary systems is not a side theme but the baseline of every expansion scenario.
One species, many worlds, one home that sets the standard.
The Rise of a Multiplanetary Species
"Humanity stands at a turning point. Across borders and beyond our differences, a new generation is emerging - one that dares to think on a planetary scale, to act in unity, to uphold justice, and to care for one another. With this spirit, we set our course toward becoming a truly multiplanetary species." - S.H.W.
