Vision 2024
Executive Summary
1/ New Age of Humanism
The first driver of change is called New Age of Humanism which considers strengthening relationships within communities and building genuine partnerships that support each other in response to dealing with crisis and uncertainty. Guidance can come from within, through spirituality, and taking principled and consistent ethical choices. A value system can function as a compass for life. The creation of values through a sense of solidarity and generosity of spirit will lead to a new age of humanism.
2/ The Stack
The Stack examines how stability is dependent on global relations and on local cohesion. A stable society operates on a human scale and recognises nature’s limits. All issues are interconnected and influence each other. It is essential to understand the mechanisms and history of inequality and how historical institutional inequalities that linger on for decades and centuries may affect long term outcomes. Problems are stacking up and causing an imbalance; the foundations of society are not solid.
3/ Climate Care
The third driver, Climate Care, shows that planetary health is more than simply survival. Climate risk is not an existential question that can be ignored. Our planet has irrevocably changed; a vision for the future is needed to help us prepare for the long term. Only by viewing the world as a whole can we tackle this crisis systematically and effectively. A long term strategy is needed to reach climate goals. All perspectives should be embraced, sharing ideas and actions to face this global crisis.
4/ Digital Worlds
The fourth driver, Digital Worlds, focuses on new technology developed for both practical usage and fun. With new technological development and collaboration, it is possible to create a new digital reality, a world that aims at empowering and helping us all prosper. This can also inspire and change our physical reality. It is not just about being present in the metaverse. There is the opportunity to create the foundations of a digital world that empowers people instead of just accepting what is automatically evolving.
