2020 dramatically altered our lives, prompting questions about our future. Will the challenges of the pandemic, protests, economic instability, and social distancing exacerbate inequalities, nationalism, and the decline of democracies? Or could they spark a global awakening to community, mutual support, and environmental stewardship? The future has never felt so uncertain. This collection presents twenty-eight distinct visions for a better world, advocating a shift from returning to "normal" toward a more promising future. Contributions from global leaders across six continents offer not just speculation but inspiration and actionable roadmaps. The essays feature insights from notable figures like Kim Stanley Robinson, Michael Pollan, Vandana Shiva, and many others, each providing a unique perspective on navigating the difficult decades ahead. Bill McKibben praises the collection for uniting some of the brightest minds to envision a viable path forward, while Van Jones highlights it as a timely guide filled with concrete ideas and inspiration for creating a more equitable and sustainable world. Together, these voices urge us to imagine and work toward a transformative future.
