The Great Pause

 

Billions of people around the globe are under lockdown. Business as usual is not usual anymore. Governments rush to adopt imperfect policies to protect citizens and defend national sovereignty. An invisible threat has humankind under siege, attacking everything and everyone we know, and the future will never be the same again.

The Global Foresight Summit is an open initiative to raise awareness on futures literacy and strategic foresight across government policy-makers, business leaders, strategists, innovators, scientists, and researchers will help to prepare for decision-making under uncertainty and unpredictability.

 

The past narratives about the future did not help to manage the present crisis appropriately. Millions of people rushed to supermarkets fearing scarcity of food; media streamed death tolls as points in a football match; politicians were caught improvising and underestimating the reality; scientists were not listened anywhere around the world; countries do not share all their data about the pandemic; and, above all, sci-fi movies, books and shows in our collective imaginary helped to accelerate the fear of a dystopian world.
