As humanity looks outward to the cosmos, we’re forced to rethink how we live together here on Earth. Our Earth Reframed explores what it means to design societies, cultures, and systems for an age where planetary citizenship matters as much as national identity. This isn’t about escaping Earth. It’s about designing futures that allow both our planet and our species to thrive in an interconnected universe.

Here we explore how Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) offer potentially a crucial opportunity for financial inclusion, empowering the underbanked and those without access to traditional banking. By merging digital efficiency with the stability of national currencies, CBDCs can provide accessible payment solutions for all, transforming how individuals engage with the economy.
