Future Perspectives for Humanity
Planet Futures explores long-term perspectives for humanity, focusing on sustainability, technology, and multiplanetary development. We design forward-looking strategies that connect today’s decisions with tomorrow’s opportunities, shaping a thriving future on Earth and beyond.
The Future Agenda -
Architectures of the Human Future
A strategic long-term agenda for the conscious shaping of human civilization
The Agenda outlines a new strategic framework for humanity in an age of planetary power, exponential technology, and emerging multiplanetary realities. It reframes governance, responsibility, and progress as civilizational design challenges rather than isolated policy issues. At its core, it invites governments, institutions, and societies to consciously shape the long-term future of humanity.
Space colonization
In a few decades mankind will be ready not only to discover space, but to advance its colonization. New technologies allow us to live long-term in the hostile universe and accelerate our expansion to other exoplanets.
What does it mean for us humans?
Our home planet will always remain our origin. But this will not last forever. The universe is in constant change. Therefore, the right paths must now be taken to establish our species in the universe in the long term. The step out into space is therefore necessary to invent better technologies and create a new awareness of the infinite possibilities that exist in the universe.
A humanity that is on the way to becoming a multiplanetary species must also create the conditions for a common order in order to force a safe and peaceful colonization of space: Because this will only happen together with all nations can be implemented.
More importantly, humanity must evolve. It must get out of its birthplace and colonize space so that a living and conscious species becomes an active part of these infinite expanses. What may seem impossible and pointless today, because the problems on our planet seem too great, will soon be only a footnote in the history books as the misadventure of a clumsy species. We stand from a grandiose future and must finally realize that the universe is made for us and we are meant to discover it. Let's get on the way!
For this reason we demand the creation of a
Global Council of the Galaxy (GCG)
to adequately prepare and respond to future challenges in the colonization of space.
The headquarters of this council will be an independent area at the South Pole and will hold meetings at least four times a year. Decisions can only be made by qualified majority. States that cannot or do not wish to become members will not be part of the settlement plans. People on planet Earth are free to join the member states.
Extracting raw materials in space
In an era in which the limits of the Earth are becoming tangible for humanity, scientists, engineers and visionaries are looking to space – to asteroids, which are considered to be treasure troves of infinite raw materials. These rocky bodies orbiting our sun are not only fascinating relics of the formation of our solar system, but could be the key to our interplanetary future.
Unlimited resources for a limitless future
Asteroids are rich in valuable metals such as platinum, nickel, iron and cobalt, which are becoming increasingly scarce on Earth. But beyond that, they also offer rare minerals such as iridium and palladium, which are essential for technologies in electronics, energy production and space travel. The exploitation of these resources could herald a new industrial revolution. One that no longer relies on the limited planet Earth, but on the immense potential of space.
The role of asteroids in space colonization
The raw materials that can be found on asteroids play a central role in the long-term vision of the space colonization, as described in the Super Strategy 2100 for Humanity. Materials for the construction of space stations, lunar bases and Martian colonies could be obtained directly from space, eliminating the need for expensive transportation from Earth. In addition, some asteroids contain large amounts of water, which can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen, the basic elements for rocket fuel and life support systems.
Sustainability and innovation in space
The vision of a sustainable space economy is based on innovations in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence and autonomous manufacturing. Future space mines will be operated by intelligent machines that can work independently, mine raw materials and bring them directly into orbit. The Earth will remain a green oasis, while industrial processes will be relocated to space – a change that not only protects the environment on Earth, but also expands economic opportunities in the infinite vastness of space.
A Cooperative Global Order

Reimagining the United Nations
For decades, there have been efforts to reform the United Nations because the Charter cannot be successfully implemented. The states that have a seat as permanent members have all too often proven that these important reform initiatives are nipped in the bud. In addition, the Charter is misused to assert national interests or block others.
This means that the United Nations cannot be reformed on its own and has therefore failed.
For this reason, we recommend founding a new global institution that takes into account the negative experiences of the United Nations and its member states from the outset and acts according to the following principles:
1) Only people-centred states can be included in this institution.
2) Participation in this institution requires a demonstrated commitment to freedom, human rights, and the well-being of all citizens.
3) States are given their voting rights based on their population and the Human Development Index (HDI).
4) There is no longer a distinction between permanent and non-permanent members.
5) Votes are always held from the point of view of majority voting. There are no more unanimous elections.
6) There will be specific rights and duties under the New Charter of this global institution. These include but are not limited to permanent tax-free trade agreements and visa-free travel to these countries.
7) The populations under the New Charter receive a world passport from birth to be able to live and work without barriers in all participating states.
8) The New Charter will be evaluated regularly to adapt to the realities of the world community.
9) The goal must be to include all states in this New Charter at some point. This also means that all autocratic and dictatorial states will be exchanged for a liberal and people-centred order, otherwise there will be no peace on this planet.
10) The name of the new global institution should be:
WORLD ORGANIZATION OF LIBERTARIAN-SOCIAL DEMOCRACIES
(WORLD)
Issue of Sovereignty
After the 30-year war, national sovereignty was the best compromise to restore lasting peace on the European continent.
Exactly this position was included in the charter of the United Nations at the end of World War II in the hope that all states would be able to exercise their right to protect their own borders. Over the decades, however, this right has been repeatedly exploited for their own national agendas. The principle of sovereignty continues to be abused to this day.
In order to establish a common world state, the nation states must therefore give up part of their sovereignty in favor of the world community. There's no way around it.
Good Global Governance
How can a globally led government be designed and organized? What is clear is that the insistence on the absolute sovereignty of peoples, which is used above all by authoritarian states as a prerequisite for world peace, in order to expand their own interests ever further and to attack democratic structures time and again.
But it is not only the absolutist rulers who like to carry this argument. The rulers of democratic states also insist on it, at least in part, as soon as the arguments for a reduction of this position, which is based on international law, are exchanged.
The rulers, so the peoples feel again and again, face only a short-term reaction of their own party-political agenda. This impression belies the decision-making will of the sovereign, namely the voters. Quite the opposite. Time and again, it is about a strategic orientation of the political actors to extend their hold on power as long as possible.
So how can we put an end to this contradiction?
Above all, that the peoples become real actors, that a people-centered world politics is built and that the rulers become service providers of the peoples in order to bring the common good on the whole planet and the advancement of the peoples to a completely new level!
This means that the rulers must give up their strategic role and develop their tactical competences, with the peoples giving the direction through active elections and the elected representatives of the peoples putting the will of the peoples completely at the service of humanity through their special calculation.
Only together we will lead humanity to a bright future and not abandon it to its fate!
