Climate and tech pose the biggest risks to our world in 2018
We live in
an era of unprecedented technological, scientific and financial
resources. I
remain optimistic about the future, yet the risks to our world are
increasing not reducing. They are systemic in nature and require a
collective will to address them. Unfortunately, this is happening at
exactly the time that nationalism, protectionism and populism are
rising, and rules-based multilateralism is declining. I
fear we may squander the opportunity to move towards a more
sustainable, equitable and inclusive future. We must act
together and we must act now.
Hi Chris, they certainly are systemic. I believe there is a basic premise as to why we don't solved the greater picture. Human civilization is founded on survival and environmental disturbance. It is at the root of our decision making, which is unconscious.
