We have become so used to tax avoidance by billionaires, many think it's just an inherent part of our economic systems

But, as the wealth gap continues to grow globally, and the top 1% owns 37% of the world's wealth, the pressure on politicians has started a tide of change.

In 2021, 136 countries agree to set a global minimum tax rate for corporations, and now Brazil and France, amongst others, are pushing to do the same for Billionaires.

Read more about the proposal for a new billionaire wealth tax, and what it might mean for our economies, on our website.

As less and less of us feel we have a voice in our democracies, and all the messages we hear are angry and divisive, some have decided to push back.

Citizens' assemblies are being organised around the world to bring people face-to-face again, and have us solve problems on a human level. From Paris to Rio, they have been surprisingly effective at creating discussion and mutual understanding, providing valuable proposals with widespread support.

Now, with the help of AI tools, these expensive assemblies could be opened up to all, creating a new democratic era where we all have a chance to raise our voices and participate in the democratic process. It is called 'Fireside Democracy.'

As climate change is increasingly causing direct harm to people's lives across the world, it may feel like there is little we can do to stop it.

But, the Swiss Klimaseniorinnen, a group of senior women aged 64+, decided to fight back. They took their government to court for violating their human rights, which they can now prove because of the heatwaves and other direct ways in which we are now feeling climate change.

After many years of legal battle, it now looks as though they might create a major victory in their quest to hold governments accountable and increase climate actions.

To build a brighter future for our generation, we need to first imagine what that future is.

And the one thing we often forget in our discussions is: What do we want our normal lives to look like? These dreams we have for our ideal normal lives are our Cosy Futures.

Together, our cosy futures create a pole star for us to work towards as a society.

In the process of making them a reality, we will have to tackle our crucial challenges of the 21st century, from affordable housing, to climate change and our mental health crisis.

But the first step to solving these challenges is imagining what the solution looks like.

All across Europe, rural areas are in crisis. Many farmers struggle to make ends meet, causing rural communities to slowly decline as farmland is increasingly abandoned.

Now, scientists and environmental conservationists are proposing a surprising solution: allowing nature to return to the land. Rewilding is proposed as a way to help biodiversity and natural ecosystems recover, whilst creating new jobs that could revive rural communities.

Whether it will be a success, time will tell.

The rapid decline of the environment around us, and the slowness of those in power to respond is a major source of anxiety for our generation.

But, instead of accepting this fate, many young people have started taking action, turning despair into a motivation for action, and a reason to hope for a better future.

Throughout human history, music has been a key ritual building social bonds and allowing us to find like-minded people.

In recent times, with the advent of online streaming and listening, this link between music and human connection has weakened. At the same time, we're facing a growing loneliness epidemic.

Read more about the artists bringing back the funk in our music and re-building communities of self-expression that imagine our place in the world.

Sci-fi writer William Gibson once said: "The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed."

Many of us spend time imagining what our world might look like in 10, 20, 30 years time. Often, we see utopian or dystopian images around us.

More likely than that, the world will look like some variation of today. Technological and social innovations of today are likely to translate into improvements in our daily lives tomorrow.

By looking around us, and supporting these seeds of change in our communities, we can start seeing this brighter future take shape, and we can be a part of making it come true.

Today is not the first time electric cars have been on our roads. When cars first became popular 100 years ago, electric and petrol cars were already competing for the personal car market.

Last time around, electric cars lost, but due to environmental necessity, they are back.

The future of electric cars will be determined by government legislation. The EU and China are already leading the electric car boom, with the US following behind.

The new battle is expected to be between battery-electric and hydrogen-electric cars, to see what the most efficient solution to our challenges today is.

There are few optimistic climate stories coming from heavy industry. But new technological innovations may be about to change that.

The slow rise of electric factories may decarbonise some of our heavily polluting and fossil-fuel reliant industries out there.

And this victory is not only due to scientists or businesses. Public pressure is one of the key factories pushing climate legislation, which is why we are seeing these new innovations. Our collective voices are the strongest tool we have in our quest to transform this world.

What is AI going to do to our jobs? With a predicted 400 million+ jobs being threatened by AI automation in the coming decade, this is an important question for our generation as we hit the job market.

By looking back at the industrial revolution, we can see how this process of creative destruction has worked before, and what needs to be done to ensure we can most effectively adapt today.

Loneliness and social isolation is on the rise in our cities. But, a group of Parisians, called the 'Super Neighbours', show us that things don't have to be this way.

This grassroots initiative went viral for their massive weekend brunches, movie nights, and other activities that helped create new friendships and battle loneliness in the fast-paced city.

Where do we get our future predictions from? And how accurate are they actually at telling us how the world will change? Futurists tell us that they're actually a lot less valuable than we think, and that to change the world, we have to focus more building towards desirable optimistic futures, rather than avoiding negative probable futures.
