Futures Literacy is the capacity to imagine, understand, and use the future. It is a skill for navigating uncertainty and developing alternative scenarios.
This literacy does not try to predict the future, but to make sense of different ways it could unfold. It integrates methods like Forecasting, Backcasting, Design Thinking, and World Building.
Developing futures literacy empowers people to think beyond fear or inevitability, and to act with creativity and agency.
