Our guiding visionary Buckminster Fuller developed the World Game™ in 1961 to challenge us to cooperatively solve the major world issues we are facing. The intent was to form a more wholistic "total world" view, one that does not produce “winners and losers.”

From this epic game the number one strategy to accelerate a desired future is to deliver adequate clean energy to everyone – with the minimal amount of power (2,000kwh/person/year) to all citizens of the earth. Access to a small amount of power is proven to positively affect education, poverty, water access, conflict, health care and quality of life for the community.  It was proposed that this power would be generated via abundant renewable energy resources (solar, wind, hydro, ocean, geothermal and biomass) and linked via high-voltage transmission networks.

Since 1989, the Global Energy Network Institute has been working toward that goal. Now with the World Resources SIMCenter we have a new tool to facilitate the adoption of Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science.

Our research associates are able to produce compelling reports that are distributed worldwide to support the call for the adoption of renewable energy within each nation and on a global scale. By drawing attention to the clean energy potential of nations and regions to harness renewable sources we aim to influence world leaders toward more sustainable investments in our future.

On a local level, you are supporting our programs and outreach efforts.  Plan San Diego, our newest series of events, moves us toward better decision making process and increased community participation. Our process for change includes; introducing critical issues, presenting the current situation, creating dialog, collecting data and insight, synthesizing and reporting our finding with subject matter experts and community pillars to offer solutions to local decision makers.  It is our intention to harness the power of various communities to reach a unified voice that insists on creating a sustainable region for us all. As part of our mission we offer the SIMCenter to the community to further their mission. By providing support and resources to like minded organizations we support the solutions for our future.
