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.
Earth Civics
Earth Civics is a nonprofit initiative inspired, in part, by the Artemis II mission around the Moon, which reinvigorated public interest in understanding Earth as a planetary system. The project builds on more than a decade of work to establish open civic spaces, where information moves freely and empowered citizens support best-case decision-making for our local, national, and shared futures.
Geodesiq provides technical support to projects led or coordinated by Earth Civics, including the Climate Value Exchange, the Good Food Finance Network, and the Resilient Prosperity Forum.
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).
