New design research programme The Terraforming is a three-year (2020–2022) initiative of the Strelka Institute in Moscow, directed by Benjamin H. Bratton. Each programme cycle will run for 6 months and invite a group of 30 interdisciplinary researchers. The Terraforming refers both to the terraforming that has taken place over the last century and millennia over the course of urbanisation, and to the terraforming that must now be planned and conducted as the planetary design initiative of the next century if true catastrophes are to be prevented. The term 'terraforming' usually refers to transforming the ecosystems of other planets or moons to make them capable of supporting Earth-like life, but the looming ecological consequences of what is called the Anthropocene suggest that in the decades to come, we will need to terraform Earth if it is to remain a viable host for Earth-like life.
