World is turning into a global village, technological progress reduces distances, and global political and economic processes enable countless new opportunities. Meanwhile, we face growing inequality, increased security threats arising along a number of social axes.
Growing tensions are already threatening security around the world, and new challenges and new threats may further erode trust between generations, nations, states, interest and social groups. This might generate yet more tension and additional threats. Trust is vital for ensuring a future of well-being and security, despite inevitable disruptions.
