For more than a decade, the Great Transition Initiative has advanced a visionary scenario of a future rooted in human solidarity, well-being for all, and ecological sustainability. Now, we enter a new phase of this work with renewed energy and, in this time of deepening peril, a heightened sense of urgency. Our reimagined website serves as a platform for examining global conditions and prospects, and for exploring bold visions and change strategies. It features: - An *open-access journal of ideas* publishing new essays, book reviews, and interviews. - A *MacroScope* highlighting current developments that carry long-term global significance. - *Educational material* such as videos, an overview of critical ideas, and archival literature. - A *GT Network Space* for those wishing to be more engaged. We hope you will find GTI to be a unique and valuable resource for understanding our present moment and shaping our collective future. Looking forward, Paul Raskin GTI Director *Current Publications* Limits to Investment: Finance in the Anthropocene<http://greattransition.org/document/limits-to-investment?acm=16850_11> *John Fullerton* <http://greattransition.org/document/limits-to-investment?acm=16850_11> We are not only in ecological overshoot, but "financial overshoot" as well.
