What might the world look like in 2025? In autumn 2020 the World Economic Forum convened expert-led Global Future Councils, time-bound think tanks, to explore that very question.
Over two years the nearly 1,000 experts met regularly in virtual meetings to examine the future of more than 30 areas across the economy, environment, society and technology. We tasked them: What challenges and opportunities lie ahead in your area of focus? And crucially, how can policy-makers, decision-makers, and the public make it happen in by 2025?
