From time to time I do think about the future. My dream is that the picture we so frequently paint will be different. Not the catastrophe that is so frequently forecast. But a world where the pressing problems are cut off, circumvented with human ingenuity and self-realisation and mobilised collaborative effort.
A world where humans decide the future to be a sustainable and transformed one that successfully reconciles climate change and our needs for food, energy and all of life.
That is what I imagine we can achieve.
