Welcome to Global Futures: Futurecast, the biannual digital journal published by the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University. In this journal, we will examine the global trends we see over the next ten years and how we look to address these issues and challenges. In this issue, we feature articles on what the world can expect to see for climate policy following COP26, how the completion of the world’s first corals atlas will help drive policy changes for the planet’s island nations, how ASU’s Seize the Moment initiative will help drive innovation based on the needs of today, what the current water and drought conditions of the US Southwest holds for the future of agriculture and how artificial intelligence can help us build a better future if we carefully address the potential risks.
