Key Insights
The report, “Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds,” released by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) in December 2012, outlines four megatrends—individual empowerment, diffusion of global power, demographic changes, and strain on global resources—that will shape the world by 2030. It also identifies six game changers that could influence these trends, such as economic volatility, governance gaps, conflict potential, regional instability, new technologies, and the role of the United States. The report presents four alternative futures: Stalled Engines, Fusion, Genie out of the Bottle, and Non-state World. Sergio Bitar's report, “How to Govern Better in the World to Come,” adds six drivers directing global trends over the next 10–50 years, including disruptive technology, natural resources, demography and migration, the middle class and development, the displacement of power, and urbanization. The Inter-American Dialogue's publication aims to raise awareness of these trends and their implications for Latin America, encouraging the region to identify major future challenges and opportunities.
