Global Agenda Council on Complex Systems 2012-2014

The Global Agenda Council on Complex Systems identifies complexity as a root cause of global challenges including climate change and energy use. The Council aims to provide holistic strategies and a complexity-science perspective to improve governance and leadership, having published a white paper on hyperconnectivity and planning a future-oriented thought experiment on global design.

• Complexity is identified as a fundamental driver of various global challenges, including climate change, energy use, water supply, hunger, healthcare, security, urbanization, sustainability, innovation, and technological impact.
• Despite a widespread recognition of global complexity among policy-makers and experts, there is a lack of accessible tools and a constructive basis for integrating complexity-science perspectives into discussions on leadership and governance systems.
• The Council's activities include the publication of a white paper titled 'Perspectives on a Hyperconnected World' for the 2013 Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters and a planned thought experiment to imagine a future world designed and governed through complexity and network science.
