A New Reality
The World Has Changed. Have you?
You are living through two unprecedented, simultaneous accelerations. We exist to help you prepare, navigate the intersection, and thrive.
First, the climate is warming faster than has been predicted. The 1.5°C threshold has been breached, not as a distant forecast, but as a fact in 2023 and 2024. We are now at the leading edge of a new, more volatile climate era, driven by a series of cascading physical and human tipping points driving the planet inexorably toward 2°C of warming before 2040 and 3°C in the 2050s. Be not misdirected or fooled by mainstream interpretations suggesting otherwise.
Second, the evolution of AI toward Artificial General and Super Intelligence (AGI & ASI) is around the corner. AGI matching human capabilities is upon us, sure to transform work and life, while ASI empowered with decision-making supremacy over critical societal systems is on track to match the 2C/3C climate timeframe. The shift is fundamental, both for good and ill.

Urgent Action Required
Not only must this place us all on an urgency footing, but they have become inseparable challenges, part of a single, complex reality, at once thrilling and frightening. Thriving requires a radical focus on agile adaptation during the ten years remaining to get ready. Play defense to protect, offense to capitalize on profitable growth opportunities, and across both fronts secure your human and corporate agency.
You CAN thrive. It takes the right Method, Mindset and Decisions. That's our mission.

Your Guides to the Coming Era
Meet Alex
Whether as a journalist or a news and communications strategist, our Founder and Principal, Alexander Díaz, has been helping people and organizations understand and manage the world's most significant shifts since the mid-1980s. That includes the climate crisis since covering the first UN annual summit in 1992 as a young reporter, and AI since the revolution began in earnest in 2024. He launched COMMON Future in 2018 to focus on the climate-adaptation imperative, soon joined strategic comms agency ARCO Relations to broaden the scope, and today is back with CF to help audiences and leaders grasp the magnitude of the AI-Climate Adaptation Intersection and Win the Future.

Content - Defining a New Culture
Stories for the Future we have in COMMON
Data can pose the problem, but stories drive action. The challenges of 2C/3C Climate Acceleration and the AGI/ASI Revolution are far more human than technical. Our Content Production Studio unit develops books and films that explore the defining intersection of our time, moving audiences everywhere into a journey of awareness, understanding, solidarity and action.
Our First Content Project
First the Book, then the Documentary Film: Tech's Ultimate Race will explore the dramatic scenario where ASI becomes the one remaining way to save the planet from climate dystopia, since people will clearly not get the job done. It's complicated, though, since AI's insatiable and fast growing energy thirst is already worsening the crisis, and it may very well bring about its own planetary upheavals. But do we have a choice? And if it can happen at all, will it happen on time?
There can be no bigger or more dramatic cliffhanger story on the planet today, and we are seeking collaborators and partners to join us in telling it and daring to change the world's trajectory with it.
The Synergy: Where Content Meets Consulting
Our consulting work grounds our content in real-world strategic challenges and people. Our content creation gives us a unique platform to shape the broader narrative, build communities of interest, and attract forward-thinking leaders – including consulting clients – to guide the way in every corner of the planet. This virtuous cycle ensures our insights are both deeply informed and widely influential.
