This will be an extraordinary century: Martin
On July 5, 2011, Dr. James Martin, the founder of the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford offered his perspective on what to expect for the 21st century, in a piece entitled Fasten Your Seatbelts, There's Turbulence Ahead.
The School’s 30 research institutes foster innovative thinking, interdisciplinary scholarship and collaborative activity to address the most pressing risks and realise important opportunities in the 21st century. They carry out research on various aspects of our global future, including climate change, development, and sustainability.
Read on for more about Dr. Martin’s thoughts and some of the School’s research.

Changing the way we use technology
As the search for new (and sustainable) energy sources continues, it is time to consider the possibility that the solution lies not in a shift of energy source, but a shift in energy use. The way we lead our lives is unsustainable, and if we do not exhaust our energy sources, it is just a matter of time before we exhaust other natural resources.
The Pacific Foundation
The Pacific Foundation envisions a more fair society that can leverage the power of new and innovative technology, ideas and global communication to identify and seek solutions to immutable problems facing the poor, vulnerable, and disenfranchised. Pacific Foundation was founded in 2006 to address issues of social justice, the environment, arts and technology.
