Imagine …

 

 

Imagine …

What if there was a way to unite humanity to achieve its highest potential and common good?

Imagine …

What if the world could collaborate together to solve the climate crisis in the brief time available to us?

Imagine …

What if  you could give your children and those you love most, more time for joyful living?

Imagine …

What if there was a planetary guidance system that could support this massive, necessary effort?

Reality …


 The architecture for this system has already been designed.


 The blueprint exists today.


 Would you work to bring this into existence? Would you help fund it?

Help WSS Build the Synergy Engine, the First Step in Assembling PHOENIX, a Planetary Guidance System for Climate Restoration 

phoenix synergy engine logo

Imagine a world where climate solutions, local wisdom and technological innovation are no longer isolated efforts, but integrated, supported and accelerated by collective intelligence. The PHOENIX World Transformation Platform is designed to make that world possible via trustworthy AI, serving all of humanity and the natural world.

The Synergy Engine is envisioned as a living, evolving global nervous system that connects people and projects working toward planetary healing. Whether it’s a community-led water restoration initiative in the Amazon, a clean energy project in Nairobi, or a youth empowerment network in Oakland, the Synergy Engine provides the enabling infrastructure to connect, amplify, align and scale the impact of green projects.

For donors, this is more than a platform, it’s an invitation to fund a​ proactive solutions system that doesn’t merely react to crises, but cultivates the conditions for long-term thriving. 

Through your support, this platform becomes a shared resource for regions that need it most, and a demonstration of what’s possible when we coordinate from shared purpose, not scarcity.

Kind Words From Those Who’ve Worked With Us

“I think people need to invest in this, to the extent they can, whether they can do it with financial support, by teaching their children, requiring this be part of the educational system, requiring them to be part of the political system … We have to do more in terms of policy to address this. We don’t have a lot of time, we have to recognize that unless we do this, there will no world to protect and defend. I will continue to work on this, and hope that everyone else will also recognize the urgency of the issue.”

Hannah-Beth Jackson, California State Senator (Retired)

“This is an incredible opportunity to collaborate, share the solutions that exist on the planet, and then connect the transparent technologies that will allow us to see how this system can really work together, beyond governance, so that we can manage this beautiful planet in the way it deserves, so we can create the future we all know is possible.”

George Orbelian, Board Member, Buckminster Fuller Institute and Walter Munk Foundation for the Oceans

“The dynamic collaboration and platform is really important. There aren’t a lot of platforms that are looking at the solution based approach. There’s not a lot of nonprofits that are looking at solutions, while also deploying those solutions. And that’s what I appreciate about World Systems Solutions. The time is urgent, but we can get there.”

Nathan White, Co-Founder and CEO, Agess, Inc.

“The problems that we face today are very complex and they require a lot of know-how, empathy and understanding, and that can only be found when we all come together. A platform that could do this would be amazing.”

Sarah Otterstrom, Executive Director, Paso Pacifico

“In my experience within financial services, when we’re asking for money from someone, we ask what is the business case? What is the value? That value is not just a form of a return on investment for that individual, but for society as a whole. So someone understanding that they’ve built their wealth in part because of their hard work, and in part because of society, and in part because Mother Earth has graciously given them the resources to build that wealth. And then when giving back, they understand the climate crisis is a problem that needs to be solved, and there is an economic benefit to them by helping fund Phoenix.”

John Teitelbaum, Financial Services Professional

“The diverse group of people and the deep collaboration has really been enlightening and exciting, along with building a sense of excitement about how we can bring greater change to the climate issue.

It’s really inspiring and uplifting to be in a group of people who are not who are not just looking at problems, but actually thinking about how to come up with solutions, and how to dream our way into a possible future, and that’s really important.”

Rev. Elisha Christopher, Spiritual Director, Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Cruz

“It’s hard for us to all come together and take time from our lives to do this concerted work, and it’s absolutely necessary. Seeing how people are receptive to each other and willing to shake off some of their fears and look underneath is a really helpful practice.”

Keri Evjy, Founder and CEO, Regenerative Life Design, LLC
