The Century of Choices

Facing the Great Challenges of Our Future Together

Pietro Mugnaini

“Climate, biodiversity, nuclear risk, artificial intelligence and inequality are different challenges, but they have something in common: no country can face them alone.

The Century of Choices asks which decisions we can still make — and how to turn them into collective action.”

The book

What it is about

01

The risks we are facing

Climate, biodiversity, nuclear risk, artificial intelligence and the other great challenges of our time.

02

Why everything is connected

Environment, economy, society, resources, migration, instability and conflict are not separate problems.

03

The possible solutions

Not only what we should do, but also which transformations are necessary, how much they may cost and how the resources could be found.

04

Deciding together

Because global problems require forms of cooperation and decision-making tools able to go beyond national borders.

05

What we can do

From knowledge to participation: getting informed, discussing, choosing, signing the Global Petition and contributing to the debate.

The path

Not just a book

The Century of Choices is part of the No-Extinction project, a path that connects knowledge, simulation, in-depth analysis and participation.
