Should a species smart enough to foresee its own demise be able to consciously evolve in order to overcome threats to its existence? Evolve reveals the nexus of evolutionary biology, sustainability and peace on the journey to PACEM 2050. There is a Burning Platform threating our species. Although our species is extremely good at cooperation, social polarization is preventing our citizenry from being in adequate alignment to adopt the necessary public policy to mitigate future ecological disaster. There are only three scenarios going forward: extinction; eusocial evolution, or a long-term cultural intervention to overcome our current lack of conceptual understanding, lack of social empathy, and lack of decision making to implement the solutions needed to mitigate catastrophe. No single government action, no corporate solutions or temporary changes in citizen behavior will resolve the challenges we face. The problems are interconnected and the path to find solutions represents the solution itself. A principle of evolution, and of social change, is that only the system can change the system. PACEM 2050 is the uncharacteristic social change strategy that changes the structure of how we share the realities of sustainability, social polarization, and approaching ecological tipping points.
