Demographic and environmental trends will help shape global security by 2030, according to the National Intelligence Council’s (NIC) Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds report, the latest in the NIC’s series of quadrennial reports on future security trends. Principal author Mathew Burrows will discuss the report’s findings and the increasingly interconnected nature of the major trends shaping international affairs. Jack Goldstone will offer an in-depth look at demographic stresses in the coming years. Steven Gale will discuss how USAID is tackling some of these emerging development trends and gearing up to make futures analysis more integral to its strategic planning process.
