Launched for the first time by The Millennium Project in 2014, WFD on March 1 evokes innovative ideas and solutions to major challenges by sharing knowledge and supporting collective intelligence. The paper summarizes the main future-oriented topics discussed during WFD 2022, ninth edition of the event, following a mixed methods approach analysis. The Global Futures Agenda 2022 is composed of four thematic clusters including their related topics and contents. Cluster 1 on complex solutions for complex problems includes topics related to suggestions and solutions for future pandemics, wars, space, earth, food, cities and governance. Cluster 2 on a hyper-technological humanity includes topics related to robots, changes in cognitive abilities, cyber dictatorship, pluriverses, trans-human world, and AI global governance system. Cluster 3 on education and learning includes topics related to learning with AI, new metaskills, experiential learning for creativity, and futuring everyone.
