H2045: Ending the Nuclear Weapons Century
As we face a thicket of intertwining existential threats, we need new tools to manage them: new governance models, new norms and standards, and a new framework for human and planetary security.

Changing Systems
Systems thinking is a mindset and a set of tools. It helps us to look more deeply at the complex issues facing society today. Our Systems Frameworks course and the focus on systems thinking in our programming helps surface the deeply interconnected, messy, unpredictable, human and environmental systems we need to influence in order to solve our greatest problems.
Visualizing the Nuclear System
The nuclear weapon system is sprawling and secretive, resisting change through a complex set of dynamics. We’ve used causal loop diagramming—a mapping tool that helps visualize complex systems and how different variables within these systems interrelate—to create what we understand to be the first and only map of the behaviors and mental models that underpin the nuclear system.
