'Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds' Summary
Published in 2012, Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds is the fifth installment in a series aimed at providing a framework for envisioning the future. This report delves into the interplay of megatrends, those factors expected to occur regardless of the scenario, and game-changers, whose trajectories are less certain. The authors distinguish between these factors and explore their potential to shape various future scenarios, including alternative worlds. The book acknowledges the diversity and complexity of these factors, highlighting the need for strategic thinking and planning to shape a more positive future. By presenting different scenarios, the authors emphasize that the future is not predetermined and is influenced by human choices and actions. The overarching goal is to encourage decision-makers, both in government and outside, to proactively plan for the long term, mitigating potential risks and fostering positive outcomes.Book Details
