Open Forum: Which 2050 Do We Want?

January 19, 2026
18:30–19:45 (Europe/Amsterdam time zone)

About this session

Good decisions could lead to a more sustainable, fair and thriving future; poor ones could deepen inequality and environmental strain. As we look ahead, we must ask ourselves: what kind of 2050 are we choosing to create?
