Future Ethical Issues Study
On behalf of the Millennium Project of the American Council for the United Nations University, we have the honor to invite you to participate in an international study to identify the most important future ethical issues that may face humanity in the foreseeable future and how they might be resolved.
The Millennium Project is a global participatory system that collects, synthesizes, and feeds back judgments on an ongoing basis about prospects for the human condition. Its annual State of the Future, Futures Research Methodology, and other special reports are used by decision-makers and educators to add focus to important issues, clarify choices, and improve the quality of decisions.
You have been nominated by one of the 23 Nodes of the Millennium Project or as the result of an international literature search on the basis of your insights into ethical thought.
There are many institutes devoted to the study of ethics, and studies of current ethical issues that range from labor-management relations to human trafficking. This study is not trying to duplicate those many worthy efforts. Instead it is intended to explore ethical issues that may arise in the future, which are not well understood today, and that may need years to fully assess and address. This study is an early step in that process.
This international assessment will be conducted via a three-round Delphi. Round 1 (below) invites you to add future ethical issues to an initial list and identify the values underlying these issues may change over the next 25-50 years. Round 2 will ask you to rate the expanded list of ethical issues and changes in values. Round 3 will ask for your insights about how these issues might be addressed. The results will be published in the 2005 State of the Future. Complimentary copies will be sent to those who respond to this questionnaire. No attributions will be made, but respondents will be listed as participants in the report.
