NELSON Memories at a Distance Book Reviews WFSF Countries & Members 2018 Human Futures Magazine WFSF has published a magazine since even before the organization was formally constituted. The WFSF magazine has gone through several iterations, changing its name and style with the changing times over nearly five decades. We are now launching a new version of the WFSF magazine. World Futures Studies Federation WFSF is a UNESCO and UN consultative partner and global NGO with members in over 60 countries. We bring together academics, researchers, practitioners, students and futures-focused institutions. WFSF offers a forum for stimulation, exploration, and exchange of ideas, visions, and designs for alternative futures to business-as-usual, through long-term, big-picture thinking, and radical change. We are a global non-profit NGO governed by a President and Executive Board. We are independent, non-commercial in focus and geared towards strengthening the scholarship of futures research.
