For a better tomorrow
We live in times of unprecedented challenges. Climate change, AI, democratic breakdown, fake news, social media, plastics & more threaten the future of all life. Earth 47 exists to ensure we leave behind a thriving planet for the next generation
Work
Earth 47 is not a traditional organization. Part think tank, part media company, part educational initiative and part political movement - it exists to ensure we build a future that works for all of life.
About
We live in the age of the Metacrisis— a time marred by never-ending crises- climate change, AI risk, mental health, polarization, inequality, and more. It is a time of conflict where old institutions are dying and no longer up to the task of providing us with a peaceful, prosperous tomorrow. To bring together a new way of being requires collaboration at a scale unprecedented in humanity’s history. This cooperation is required at a time when we seem to be more split than ever between warring factions with views that seem irreconcilable.Earth 47 exists to answer one question - what kind of a world do we want to leave for the next generation? We aim to foster the collaboration needed to get us through these turbulent times by getting us to question our deeply held beliefs and values and enquire whether they are the right ones. It aims to bring together people by synthesizing divergent views, exposing pitfalls in our approaches, providing alternate solutions and solid ground for facilitating conversations between opposing sides so we can come together to build a better tomorrow.
Team
Earth 47 was founded by Akhil Puri. He is an ex-climate tech entrepreneur who has built crowdfunding platforms for green projects, developed solar rooftop projects and a solar energy marketplace. His work led him to conclude that climate change is a symptom of the problem and not the problem itself. He holds a Computer Science degree from BITS Pilani and an MBA from IIM Bangalore- both top institutes in India. He has over a decade of cross-sectoral experience ranging from consumer goods to health-tech and ed-tech. This allows him to bring a multi-dimensional perspective to addressing our challenges
