The 2020s started with the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which changed life as we know it. And as conflicts continue to rage around the world with no resolution in sight, new geopolitical risks are emerging one after another, casting a dark shadow over our very existence. Meanwhile, generative AI and other new technologies are bringing about major adjustments to our lives and practices. It is hard to know what life will be like in 2030 and what kind of environment will we find ourselves in. Events and situations that we cannot yet predict may occur.
