Executive Summary
In this visionary ABLF Talks Live session, Mr David Goldsmith offered a compelling call to action for global leaders to reimagine the future of our planet, not by fixing fragmented systems, but by building entirely new frameworks grounded in sustainability, innovation, and collective responsibility. At the heart of his message is Project Moonshot, a strategic initiative to design a sustainable human presence on the moon while using those same innovations to solve Earth’s most urgent challenges. Mr Goldsmith warned that humanity is falling behind the pace of global change, citing six mega-challenges, climate change, mass extinction, ecosystem collapse, displacement, unrest, and explosive impact, that, if unaddressed, will render all other development goals irrelevant.
