For many years in the United States, scientists, advocates, and policymakers have largely reacted to immediate health and ecosystem threats without a clear vision or corresponding set of future goals. This failure to articulate a vision has contributed to perceptions that the environmental and health movements are thoughtlessly oppositional, and impediments to technological and economic development.

The Toward Tomorrow Project brings together leaders and scholars from diverse fields — both people late in their careers and those who will shape and implement programs and policies over the next forty years — to develop a common agenda for environment and human health. We aim to identify goals that will guide the next generation as they address the complex linkages between human and ecosystem health: linkages critical for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of global health threats. The Toward Tomorrow initiative is predicated on the belief that scientists, government officials, and community, health, environment and business leaders can find common cause in recognizing human consumption and production as sources of both problems and solutions.
