The world’s most dangerous threats are converging faster than our institutions can adapt. We build the tools that help institutions catch up.

The leaders and institutions working on the world’s most consequential security challenges need partners who can help them think across boundaries, test new approaches, and make better decisions under genuine uncertainty.

Horizon 2045 has built that capacity deliberately.

We work alongside leading experts on governance, security, and global risk, not as a think tank producing analysis for its own sake, but as a design and facilitation partner that turns ideas into concrete, testable prototypes: governance frameworks, legal strategies, deliberative tools, foresight infrastructure.

Our Vision

Security measured by whether decisions strengthen or erode the conditions in which people and living systems flourish.

Why Invest Now

Funders who invest at this moment, before the shape of the next framework is fixed, have the opportunity to help determine what it becomes.

What Your Support Makes Possible

Over the next 3–5 years, your investment in this work will yield:

Security Program

A first-of-its-kind integrated security framework, developed by a network of nearly 50 senior women leaders including former heads of state, designed for adoption by governments, multilateral institutions, and major foundations.

A set of governance diagnostics and decision support tools that help leaders assess how choices made in one domain—nuclear policy, AI regulation, climate investment—compound risk or create opportunity across the others.

Governance Program

An international legal campaign to strengthen constraints on nuclear weapons, with a strategy for engaging the International Court of Justice before the end of the decade.

The Next Generation Foresight Radar

An open-source platform tracking nearly 500 signals of change across seven domains; expanded and refreshed semi-annually. The radar is already in documented use by dozens of organizations to stress-test strategies and anticipate emerging threats.
