Futures for Hope in a Broken World

Our global future looks bleak. Existential threats crowd the horizon, from climate disaster and pandemics to runaway AI and nuclear annihilation. Failing domestic politics and international diplomacy, driven by destructive power politics, are not meeting our shared global challenges. Without a change of direction we may face a future of environmental collapse, public health crises, technological dystopia, and cataclysmic war.
