As we explored the implications of this significant milestone adopted by the UNGA, we gathered feedback from the futures community regarding the Pact for the Future and its commitments.

Three critical issues urgently require resolution, and a basic consensus should be pursued immediately: Artificial General Intelligence, Climate Change, and Peace and Security. If a firm, practical consensus is not reached on these issues, much of the Pact will remain precarious and at risk of existential irrelevance. There must be a global mobilization—across civil society, science, business, think tanks and NGOs, and the broader public—pressing for compliance with the Pact and empowering the UN to generate feasible, actionable plans for each member state. Moreover, further contributions from the futures community will be essential to define long-term strategies that better anticipate future challenges, and the community is willing to continue contributing.

In conclusion, we wish to express our appreciation for the extensive efforts and diverse content encompassed in the Pact for the Future and its annexes. We join many others in hoping that this Pact will serve as a powerful catalyst for change, guiding humanity toward more long-term, integrated, and sustainable pathways, ensuring that future generations inherit a world that is not only viable but also thriving.
