New Global Challenges Foundation Projects

14 September 2015

GCRI has two new funded projects with the Global Challenges Foundation, a philanthropic foundation based in Stockholm.

The first project is a quarterly report of everything going on in the world of global catastrophic risks. The reports will be an expanded version of our monthly news summaries, with some new features and an emphasis on work going on around the world to reduce the risks.

The second project is a risk analysis of nuclear war. Prior GCRI nuclear war research modeled the probability of specific nuclear war scenarios and discussed some of the potential impacts, especially nuclear winter. This project will have us model the entire risk, looking at all scenarios and all impacts.
