“The world of 2030 will be radically transformed from our world today,” reads the introduction of Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds, produced by the National Intelligence Council. In this podcast, principal author Mathew Burrows breaks down some of the scenarios discussed in the report, and describes how demographic and environmental trends – two of four “megatrends” – could play out over the next few decades.

Burrows spoke at the Wilson Center on February 26.
