Humanity's achievements over the last few centuries have been nothing short of extraordinary. More efficient and interconnected markets have animated a prolonged period of prosperity, peace, and stability and advancements in science and technology have pushed health and longevity, connectivity, and even enabled us to venture into the cosmos. But this progress has come at a cost for which humanity is now paying: environmental degradation, geopolitical turmoil, economic inequalities, and global health pandemics. Where will these global trends leave us in the future? How can humanity's prowess be re-aligned to heal a sickened planet? How can we ensure that future generations are able to continue pushing above and beyond?
