“We hope to see a vigorous commitment to fighting

climate change with a new gold standard of

carbon-neutral footprints, plastic-free and no-waste

kitchens, plus sustainable eating.” ➤

“I think a lot of listeners and

fans are now more open-minded to the

idea that a record doesn’t have

to be confined to one particular genre

and can mix country and hip-hop,

for example.”

NORMANI

Singer-songwriter

“I hope to see the public tangibly

benefit from medicines

based on CRISPR [a genome-

editing technology codiscovered

by Doudna and Emmanuelle

Charpentier, director of

the Max Planck Unit for the

Science of Pathogens

in Berlin, that allows scientists

to change or remove genes

quickly] to treat the

most intractable cancers and

genetic diseases.”

“I IMAGINE BRANDS

WILL BECOME MORE

EXPERIMENTAL

IN THEIR

APPROACH TO MAKE

MEANINGFUL

CULTURAL

CONNECTIONS.

BOUNDARIES

BETWEEN

DIFFERENT FORMS

OF CREATIVE

EXPRESSION WILL

CONTINUE TO

BLUR, AND

DIVERSITY WILL

BE MORE

MAINSTREAM.”

“We can advance a new kind of ecology

where artificially designed and organic materials

create synergies between the made

and the grown. E. coli can be transformed into

edible sugar; grass converted

into diesel; corn transfigured into plastic.”
