38,638 contributions Question 2 When I think about the future, what I wish… for the world A truly surprising finding is that the greatest wish of young people all over the world is not connected with the environment, but with world peace. A large proportion of their contributions—32%—aspire to a world devoid of armed conflict, discrimination, insecurity, and inequality. The environment, although it is still paramount, comes second, more particularly in the West, East Asia and the Pacific. However, it is less of a priority in other regions of the world, where human values and virtues come out on top. The better world to which these young people aspire seems to be characterized by a strengthening of human values, greater equality, and shared happiness — intangible factors that shape their vision of an ideal future.
