Exploring the Future of Democracies in Iceland
As the world grapples with unprecedented challenges and opportunities in the realm of democracy, ANTICIPATE is gearing up to participate in the highly anticipated Futures of Democracies Conference in Reykjavík, Iceland. Scheduled to take place from February 21st to 23rd, 2024, this conference serves as a pivotal platform for shaping the trajectory of democratic governance in the 21st century.
With elections unfolding across the globe and key drivers of change such as AI, climate change, and geopolitical tensions reshaping political landscapes, the urgency to address these issues has never been greater. ANTICIPATE recognizes the significance of empowering participation and agency in decision-making processes to navigate through these challenges effectively.
Hosted by the Nordic Chapter of the World Futures Studies Federation (WFSF) and supported by UNESCO and UN consultative partners, including prominent institutions like the Icelandic Centre for Future Studies, Finland Futures Research Centre (FFRC), and the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, the conference brings together thought leaders, policymakers, and scholars to delve into the complexities of future democracies.
The agenda of the conference includes discussions on key themes such as climate shaping the future of democracy, paradigms in governance and institutions, and the role of AI in shaping democratic futures. By fostering dialogue and collaboration, the conference aims to generate actionable insights and innovative solutions to strengthen democracies worldwide.
Among the distinguished speakers and participants, ANTICIPATE looks forward to contributing its expertise and insights to the discussions. As a leading organization in futures thinking, ANTICIPATE remains committed to driving meaningful change and shaping more inclusive and resilient democracies for future generations.
While ANTICIPATE's participation in the conference takes center stage, it's worth noting our latest initiative—a comprehensive calendar for futures and foresight events. This centralized hub offers a curated selection of both ANTICIPATE events and other forward-thinking gatherings, providing individuals and organizations with valuable insights and networking opportunities.
