Futurist Gerd Leonhard presents a vision for a "protopian" future, focusing on gradual progress rather than idealistic utopias or bleak dystopias. He highlights climate change and artificial general intelligence (AGI) as critical challenges, emphasizing the need for human collaboration, ethical governance, and a new economic logic centered on the "five Ps" (people, planet, purpose, peace, prosperity).

Leonhard urges a shift from profit-driven narratives to a future that prioritizes human values. He advocates for collective action and global consensus to navigate rapid change. Watch the full presentation here. For more insights, visit this link.

As a futurist for over 20 years, I've focused on scenarios and the imminent future for businesses and governments. However, I believe the pressing challenges of climate change and artificial intelligence demand our immediate attention. We have a five-year window to design a better future, prioritizing humanity and the planet over mere profit.

Transitioning to a public thinker, I aim to engage with real-world issues, inspired by thinkers like Daniel Kahneman and Noam Chomsky. My guiding principles remain the same: People, Planet, Purpose, and Prosperity. Join me in exploring these vital topics and shaping a flourishing future.
