What occurs in this future?

• Climate tipping points trigger cascading crises: rising seas, crop failures, and societal collapse. Dwindling resources and mass displacement lead to global conflict. The planet's vital signs worsen, initiating a great unravelling of human civilisation and environmental stability.
• The democratisation of information has led to an overwhelming surge of AI-generated content, creating confusion and eroding trust. People find themselves lost in a post-truth landscape, struggling to navigate a reality devoid of shared understanding.
• Multiple dimensions of the political crisis intersect to create regional and global flashpoints. Trade routes fray, supply chains falter, and the foundations of the global order crack under the strain.
• As the physical world constricts under the weight of environmental, financial, and societal pressures, the online realm beckons with its siren song of escapism.

What questions does this future raise for us today?

• How can we foster community and belonging among our participants despite the increasing societal fragmentation and the rise of virtual worlds?
• How can we work with government agencies and community organisations to assist in developing local resilience?
• How can we promote responsible resource consumption and encourage sustainable practices among our participants?
• How can we leverage technology to deliver programs and services in more efficient and accessible ways?
• How can we ensure our programmes and facilities remain accessible to all socioeconomic groups as wealth inequality grows?
