Gaian Vision
United Planet invites leaders attending Davos to be architects of planetary futures by contributing your vision to the world's largest positive story of the future during our 35th UP Game.
We will be filming the ‘Gaian Vision’ episode set in the more beautiful future where our visions have been achieved.
For ‘Future Friday’ you’re invited to continue the Gaian tradition overnight in the Davos igloo palace at 2620m followed by an immersive decompression day of skiing on Saturday.
As we find ourselves in this civilisation threshold, we need more than opinions. We need voices rooted in vision, responsibility, and lived action.
Our mission is to tell the greatest story never told.
Hosted by United Planet, this interview series invites global leaders, founders, and visionaries to step into the UP Game, a space where storytelling becomes a tool for systems change.
From a future perspective, leaders share the work they are building, why it matters for humanity and the planet, and how their vision contributes to a thriving world. These conversations will become part of our documentary series showcasing the emerging narratives shaping our collective future.
A Curated Interview Series
During the Davos week
These interviews are part of the 35th ‘Gaian Vision’ UP Game - a global storytelling and systems-change experience.
During the World Economic Forum in Davos, United Planet hosts a curated interview series inviting global leaders to pause, reflect, and speak beyond the urgency of the moment.
Rather than focusing on short-term outcomes or performance cycles, participants are invited to speak from a future perspective - articulating the work they are building in service of long-term planetary wellbeing.
The interviews are guided and hosted by Lucian Tarnowski, creating a reflective, intentional space that goes beyond traditional media formats.
These conversations are part of the UP Game - a global storytelling and systems-change experience designed to shift how we speak about leadership, responsibility, and the future we are shaping together.
What is this about?
What is the United Planet (UP) Game?
United Planet is a global movement and media platform dedicated to amplifying the stories, initiatives, and leaders shaping a just, regenerative, and thriving world.
Across more than 30 immersive experiences worldwide, United Planet has brought together a diverse ecosystem of:
- founders and entrepreneurs
- investors and philanthropists
- policymakers and system designers
- artists, cultural leaders, and Indigenous voices
At the heart of United Planet lies a simple yet profound question:
What kind of world are we consciously choosing to build?
The UP Game is a participatory, future-oriented storytelling experience that invites individuals and communities to step outside linear time.
Rather than speaking about change, participants are invited to speak from the future they are creating - cultivating clarity, coherence, and collective responsibility.
The Davos interview sessions are the UP Game translated into a global narrative format, making future-oriented leadership visible and accessible to a wider audience.
An Invitation to Speak From the Future
We are living in a moment where systems are failing faster than the narratives meant to guide them. Leadership is too often reduced to short cycles, fragmented solutions, and surface-level responses.
In the noise, the deeper why behind meaningful work is frequently lost.
Voices of a Thriving Future creates space to slow down and articulate work that is rooted in long-term impact rather than immediacy. The series helps to shift global narratives toward regeneration and cooperation, elevate work that serves people, planet, and future generations, and contribute to a shared cultural memory of what responsible leadership truly looks like.
These conversations are not about prediction — they are about direction.
