Global Future

The Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030 have been adopted by all countries; yet what the world will look like in 2030 is fundamentally uncertain. How to achieve the SDGs and implement Agenda 2030 is also uncertain. We need to transform our aptitude towards a future-oriented perspective to master this uncertainty.
Despite this asymmetry of certainty there is an urgent need to understand the best ways to implement Agenda 2030. Is information of the past and present suitable to to shape policy and programmes for the future? What will determine the future and our success? What do we need to know? What are the long- and short-term challenges?
The event SDGs – The Future is being convened to begin a dialogue about what is needed today to shape a future that meets Agenda 2030. Speakers will reflect on how they see the world change and what this means for the SDGs; what are the critical trends they observe and what may be the most important assumptions of the future we may have to revisit.
The session will be moderated by Global Future and the format will be innovative and interactive, offering ample opportunity for constructive and engaging dialogue. A short report will be distributed to all attendees a few days following the event.
