Harness Complexity → Achieve Sustainability

Complexity Group is a nonprofit in California launched in 2025 to accelerate sustainability through research and analysis that decipher the complexity of human systems and educational products and services that develop complexity thinking.

Problem

Unsustainable production and consumption practices have created significant global biodiversity, climate, and social crises.
The complexity of human systems makes reversing these crises and transitioning onto sustainable paths extremely challenging.
Need

Humanity needs to implement transformative solutions that sustainably reverse these crises by realigning human practices with planetary boundaries.
Developing, gaining widespread support, and implementing such solutions requires deciphering and then harnessing the complexity of human systems.
Mission

Complexity Group accelerates sustainability by providing individuals, organizations, communities, and government agencies with strategic insight and planning capacity to harness complexity and transform society.
We do this through research and analysis that decipher the complexity of human systems and educational products and services that develop complexity thinking.
Vision

We envision a future where planet Earth is flourishing with increasing biodiversity and thriving human systems that embrace, nourish, and benefit from Earth’s complexity.
Values

We value community, harness complexity, and commit to sustainability.
