Global Trends 2030 – Alternative Worlds

Report prepared by the National Intelligence Council of the United States of America, published in December 2012. For nearly two decades, the National Intelligence Council's Global Trends report has shaped strategic discussion within and outside the US government. The report reflects on factors such as globalisation, demographics and the environment, constituting a forward-looking document to support policy-makers in long-term planning. Since the first report was released in 1997, the number of readers has expanded, reaching an increasingly wider audience. A new report is published every four years after the US presidential election, so the next one should be presented very soon.
