The People Power Game: Draw, Imagine and Resolve the World’s Demographic Dilemmas
People Power is a futures game that helps us better understand and address the future impacts of population decline on our world. Adam Sharpe, a British Futurist based in Asia, won the NGFP Intergenerational Fairness Award for his game design. After a year of research and testing, he is ready to share it and its findings at Creative Bureaucracy.
Population Decline - An intergenerational participatory futures project
Futurely is launching a research project to investigate the long-term impacts of population decline, and the policy responses being implemented to address it, on society, technology, economy, ecology, politics, and our way of life. Falling fertility rates and rising life expectancy mean almost every country on the planet could have shrinking populations by the end of the century. But while some see population decline as a threat to human civilization, others see it as a cause for celebration.
Futurely will organize 3 online intergenerational futures workshops for an estimated 50 professionals, public administrators and active members of the public across generations to explore the long-term consequences of population decline, and existing policy responses. Generate transdisciplinary perspectives and solutions. Build futures literacy and an intergenerational fairness lens amongst participants.

UN Summer Academy
The UN Summer Academy introduces conceptual approaches underpinning the notion of sustainable development, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals, as well as the Paris Agreement on Climate Change under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The 2022 Programme will explore sustainable development from a multi-sectoral perspective, focusing on critical themes such as health and well-being, social protection, economic transformation, and climate action. Participants will look at how transformative thought frameworks of systems thinking, futures thinking, and design thinking can address these issues in a complex and volatile context. Alongside these core themes and conceptual approaches, the Programme will also feature trending sustainable development topics such as innovation for sustainable development and frontier technologies. Experts will highlight the latest developments in these areas and their potential contribution to sustainable development efforts.
UN Summer Academy - Strategy Development Workshop
This is the 10th annual UN Summer Academy lasting 5 days and dedicated to the theme “Redesigning for a sustainable future”. The program convenes leaders from across sectors and continents to address key challenges to the achievement of the #2030agenda post COVID-19.
