Open Forum: Which 2050 Do We Want?
The choices we make today, on climate, technology, social justice and how we care for one another, are already shaping the world we will live in by 2050. Good decisions could lead to a more sustainable, fair and thriving future; poor ones could deepen inequality and environmental strain.
As we look ahead, we must ask ourselves: what kind of 2050 are we choosing to create?
