The 2011 State of the Future
The 2011 State of the Future finds the world is getting richer, healthier, better educated, living longer, and is more peaceful and better connected; yet half the world is potentially unstable. Food prices are rising, water tables are falling, corruption and organized crime are increasing, environmental viability for our life support is diminishing, debt and economic insecurity are increasing, climate change continues, and the gap between the rich and poor is widening dangerously.
The 2011 State of the Future is a concise, readable overview of the global situation, problems, solutions, and prospects for the future. It covers the global landscape with one-page overviews of energy, science & technology, ethics, development, water, organized crime, health, decisionmaking, gender relations, demographics, war & peace. There are also special chapters on an Egyptian assessment of its post-revolution; future of the arts and media, scenarios for the future of Latin America, and environmental security.
The 2011 State of the Future comes in two parts: a printed 100-page summaries of these studies and an expanded CD version with over 8,000 pages of research and analysis.
The executive summary and Chapter 1’s two-page overviews of 15 Global Challenges are ideal for thought leaders around the world, corporate strategic planners, public policy experts, policy advisors, nonprofit organizations, teachers/professors of world issues, and anyone interested in a global overview of our prospects for the future – what are the problems and what are potential solutions.
