The world feels pretty broken lately. But the truth is, it’s been broken for a long time. The systems we rely on — the food we eat, the energy that lights our way, the incomes we work for, the cities we live in— are deeply flawed. They were not built for people, least of all the most vulnerable and marginalized, and they are cracking under the pressure of COVID-19 and the climate catastrophe.
The deep fractures exposed by the pandemic show us exactly where we need to rebuild ― luckily, we won’t be starting from scratch. FutureProof, a new five-part series from HuffPost and Unearthed, spans the globe, meeting people already implementing solutions and building the resilience needed for a future of cascading shocks. This is what it would look like to build a futureproof world — a world that’s able to withstand whatever crisis comes next.
