This approach aligns closely with the goals of the UNESCO MOST Programme and its emphasis on anticipatory, evidence-based policy for social transformations, using Futures Literacy and Foresight to enhance our capability to use the future to shape the present. Robinson\u2019s speculative scenarios help readers and policymakers alike imagine alternative systems, anticipate challenges, and cultivate the capacity to navigate uncertainty\u2014core principles in contemporary futures and foresight methodologies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
