SUMMARY
In some sixty pages, Dylan Buffinton (The Salmon Consulting) engages in an exercise in foresight, sketching out possible futures for France in 2040. Sometimes optimistic, sometimes pessimistic, these scenarios illustrate the major societal challenges we face: climate change, basic needs, inequalities, technology, work, health, education...
Gaston Berger, philosopher and key figure in the discipline of prospective, wrote: "Tomorrow does not prolong yesterday, tomorrow does not repeat yesterday, tomorrow blossoms what is virtually present today." The foresight exercise therefore consists in understanding the breaking points we need to anticipate, and preparing for the milestones we may be ignoring. (Excerpt from the report)
Key words : basic needs, climate, education, inequalities, prospective, health, technology, work.
