Nautilus Institute addresses three global problems at this time. We have selected these problems because they exemplify the general challenge to global governance that we face in an era of global transformation. Good governance enables individuals to work together to solve these collective problems and to realize collective values using means that are equitable and just.
Effective governance increases predictability of outcomes.
Nautilus strategies to solve global problems are based on these fundamental values and means of global governance. The Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainable Development is a policy-oriented research and consulting organization. Nautilus produces reports, organizes seminars, and provides educational and training services for policymakers, media, researchers and community groups. Core staff are based in Berkeley, with associates in several locations throughout the world. Research is drawn from many disciplines, including environmental economics and science, energy and resource planning and international relations.
