Everyone should think like I do (j/k).
I think we're somewhat already towards a better (global) society.
The Internet and the free distribution of knowledge has connected the world both culturally and ideologically, i.e. we have 2 cultures & 2 ideologies now: the online and IRL. If we connect the two, I bet that we would be much better off, and a lot more culturally and ideologically richer.
Continue educating our children and not just rote learning, but also in the ways of thought and skepticism, of everyone reaching their own conclusions on available data and theories in their education. Sure we might get different views, but I am of the firm belief that if we expose students to even bad theories and bad views, with critical thinking and own judgment, students will choose the better ones over the bad ones. This hinges on that the students learn to think for themselves first.
Global warming is threat we all face and something we have to do treat now. Stop burning coal in power plants, and replace them with nuclear fission for the time being, until we've perfected commercial fusion plants.
More transparent governments, only let sensitive information be withheld; rest up for scrutiny and public debate. Cut military spending/ or re-allocate military spending more succinctly; we don't need massive armies anymore. I think if western countries were to lighten up on military spending, nations like China would probably follow. We did this with nukes, we can do it with armies.
More science funding. Make it more attractive. This will sorta follow as more automation happens, such that more higher education will be necessary.
I don't know more at the moment, other than a personal thing: make an economic experiment with energy certificates ala Technocracy in an area and see how it goes.
