ESPAS GLOBAL TRENDS MID-TERM REPORT

Florence Gaub


In the spring of 2019, the European Strategy and Policy Analysis System (ESPAS) issued its most recent, five-yearly Global Trends Report. Entitled ‘Global Trends to 2030: Challenges and Choices for Europe’, it sought to identify the major medium- and long-term trends worldwide and trace some of their potential implications for policy-makers in Europe. Now, to coincide with the latest ESPAS annual conference in November 2021, the ESPAS Steering Group is issuing a mid-term update that looks at what has changed over the last two and a half years, a period that has brought unexpected developments on several fronts.
