<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The text explores how Danes perceive the future and the role of politics in shaping it. The survey reveals a mix of hope and concern: 52% feel hopeful about the next 1020 years, yet only 24% believe their descendants will live better lives, while 32% expect worse conditions. War and peace dominate both fears and hopes, alongside issues like climate change, inequality, and personal wellbeing. The report highlights widespread dissatisfaction with short-term political thinking63% believe decisions lack long-term visionand low trust in the system's ability to manage future challenges, with only 14% expressing high confidence. Despite this, Danes strongly support initiatives to integrate foresight into policymaking, such as appointing a Commissioner for Future Generations and promoting intergenerational fairness at the EU level. The findings underscore a global trend of declining optimism in high-income countries and call for more visionary, future-oriented governance</abstract>
