We are flying across the cosmos on Spaceship Earth with no planetary instrumentation panel to measure the state of our life support system, or a flight plan to collaboratively strategize about how our everyday choices and routines shape where we are going together.

Jensen organizes efforts in three tracks; (1) Architecture, (2) Applications, and (3) Governance. The UN is coalescing this effort on a global scale with collaboration around a digital ecosystem for the environment and Sustainable Development Goals under the Governance track. The Delaware Coastal Society intends to contribute to the Architecture and Applications tracks for our contribution.
