World Futures Day (WFD) has been observed on 2 December every year.[1] On 4 November 2021, a resolution was adopted at the UNESCO 41st General Conference session in November 2021 to recognize World Futures Day, to encourage inclusive and cross-disciplinary conversations on the future.[2] One of the reasons to institutionalize this day is to raise awareness of futures literacy, or Futures Studies, which is becoming increasingly important in academia and industry.[3]
