Alex Steffen

Alex Steffen has been the Executive Editor of Worldchanging since he co-founded the organization in 2003, as the next phase in a lifetime of work exploring ways of building a better future. Prior to founding Worldchanging (with IEET Senior Fellow Jamais Cascio), Steffen worked as an environmental journalist on four continents (where he wrote about everything from Japan’s fast breeder reactor program to the UN “Earth Summit” in Rio de Janeiro). That work led him to provide strategic consultation to over 50 environmental groups (on issues like the fate of endangered species, the future of “smart growth” and “reframing” the environmental movement) and many foresight projects (anticipating, for instance, paths for a Pacific Northwest transition to sustainability, what green neighborhoods of the future might look like, and how to prevent the next use of nuclear weapons).
