Foundation for the Future

I was listening to The Skeptics Guide to the Universe and they were discussing the growing drought in California and the consequent pressure on the California aquifer and many other aquifers in similarly serious condition.  With the serious repercussions that a lack of water in highly populated areas would have both locally and globally as many people die, those who can afford to relocate to other regions and increase the pressure on their water and other resources, I think this is a serious problem that needs attention.  Those conditions combined with climate change and it's implications, which are equally potentially catastrophic (and intertwined with the water issue) have me wanting to join with others to do what I can to safeguard and promote the future of humanity.  I would like to join with an participate in an organization along the lines of a Foundation for the Future.

My conceptualization of such an organization draws on the inspiration of fictional organizations such as Asimov's Foundation and Roddenberry's United Federation of Planets.  The other side of the survivalist coin, such an organization would also be aimed at survival and obtaining the best possible outcomes, but for all rather than merely for self and tribe.  I see the mission of such an organization including such elements as:

1. Endeavoring to predict "Failure Modes" for humanity or significant sections of it.  (i.e. avoiding Great Filters if we can)
2. Once predicted act in two manners simultaneously:
1. Gather resources (technological, interpersonal, financial, political, etc.) to direct at minimizing the probability and/or severity of such a "Failure Mode"
2. Gather resources (technological, interpersonal, financial, political, etc.) to direct at assisting humanity adapt to and survive the occurrence of such a "Failure Mode"
3. Work to promote habits in the general populace generally aimed at minimizing the probability and/or severity of "Failure Modes" both foreseen and unforeseen:
1. Promotion of Critical Thinking and Rationality
2. Promotion of Tact, Respect, and Diplomacy
3. Promotion of Education - STEM and Humanities both
4. Other "Habits of Highly Effective Humans"

Does anyone know of such an organization I can participate in?  If not, what can we do to create one?

Just a thought as I sit here trying to solve the world's problems and dreaming of better tomorrows.
