Geodesiq aims develop innovations that catalyze sustainable insight-sharing, resilience-building, and climate-smart development, risk management, and investment. We support projects and publications that manage or inform such efforts.
Active Value Trust Ratings
The Active Value Trust Rating system (AVTR) is intended to serve as the consumer-side equivalent of the credit rating system banks use to judge whether a person should have access to financial services, and at what cost. The Activv rating system is designed to provide policy-makers, regulators, investors, consumers, and the rated institutions themselves, with more reliable information about projected future investment quality (FIQ), to build a reliably productive business model attuned to future value-building opportunities.
The Climate Value Exchange
The Climate Value Exchange is a collaborative multistakeholder endeavor, aimed at coordinated upgrading of climate ambition, through policies and cooperative arrangements designed to provide everyday benefits to local economies, human security, the macroeconomy and nature. The goal is to create the zero-carbon economy that eliminates pollution and provides new, more diversified means of sustainable thriving.
Geodesiq Advisory Services
Geodesiq supports partnerships and initiatives that advance climate-related innovation and resilience. We also provide advisory services for institutions with an interest in developing customized, locally rooted climate risk reduction and resilience strategies. Advisory services are available for small businesses, municipalities, foundations, universities, and other institutions intersested in avoiding major climate risk and cost.
Liberate Systems
Liberate Systems is a partnership initiative specializing in transformational systems innovation, across sectors. We should not be handing over our personal and collective wealth to accelerate the destruction of our environment and wellbeing, so we work to liberate industrial, energy, financial, and information systems from reliance on society or natural systems to pay for pollution or resulting harm.
The Navigator
The least understood detail of the sustainability revolution is the fact that the actions that will help secure a livable future for those many future generations are also the best way for us to live well, free, and safely, today. We need honest research, access to evidence, thoughtful analysis of what is at stake, and institutions that are comfortable with complexity. The Navigator covers climate, democracy, science, innovation, and the surprising intersections between geopolitics and local experience.
The Networked Earth System Science Initiative
As the formal federal commitment to maintain always-on multidimensional Earth system observational science capabilities is eroded—by policy setbacks and funding cuts, by reduced staffing and possible deactivation of satellite systems—there is an overriding public interest in the establishment of a networked Earth system science initiative (NESSI).
