The New Shape Process (NSP)

At a time when the threats posed by climate change and rising nuclear tensions have driven some stakeholders into denial and isolation, this project offers hope that multilateralism will prevail. The New Shape Process (NSP) empowers the international community to collectively tackle global catastrophic risks through governance innovation and leadership. Building on the success of the New Shape Prize, a competition to develop new and improved frameworks for international cooperation on global catastrophic risks, the Global Challenges Foundation (GCF) initiated the NSP in June 2018. The project comprises five international working groups tasked with refining, enhancing and/or supplementing the building blocks that emerged during the Prize competition. These teams of experts will develop their models over the next four months and present them at the Paris Peace Forum in November.
