Millions of traditional jobs are being automated as millions of new occupations are being created for the first time. And all the while, environmental stresses are disrupting our lives, driving the need for strategic foresight to reimagine our relationship with our planet and ourselves.

Navigating the future won’t be easy. But it is still necessary.
