Its purpose was to identify future humanitarian challenges and solutions. This mission continues as Humanitarian Futures (HF), providing futures-oriented discussion papers and emerging perspectives when it comes to dealing with ever more complex humanitarian crises. It attempts to help organisations with humanitarian responsibilities to prepare for future humanitarian threats. HF believes that these threats will be more complex and unpredictable than those of today, and that their impacts will be of an exponentially different order.
