2024 promises to be a dramatic year. There is the potential for the liberal democracies to lack leadership at critical moments and consequently opportunities for authoritarian governments may occur. This, combined with the ongoing armed disputes around the world and ever intensifying resource pressures may lead to a deteriorated security position over the course of 2024.

If we wish our societies to be beacons of hope they should not have walls.

In this challenging landscape, pressing issues like the existential threats posed by climate change and the potential risks associated with misaligned Artificial General Intelligences (AGIs) loom ominously. Simultaneously, the ascending influence of authoritarian regimes, the looming spectre of economic recession, and the deepening chasm of inequality demand urgent attention.

Technological development and deployment of existing solutions offers significant hope. Electrification of transport and home heating as well as AGI like systems offer to transform the citizens experience.

Economic systems as they are currently manifested are inadequate to the task. The neoliberals, supporters of post capitalism, and proponents of the extinction economy must now decide to either play a short game for profit or else use their riches to facilitate transformation and survival. They’re perceived greed will be a rallying cry for proponents of UBI and universal services.

One crucial starting point in addressing the challenges of 2024 lies in reevaluating the plight of economic migrants. Embracing their integration not only disarms authoritarian agendas but also lays the groundwork for accommodating refugees fleeing persecution and those displaced by climate-induced crises in the years to come.
