Key Insights

The Global Governance Futures (GGF) program convened 27 young professionals from various countries to envision the geopolitical landscape of 2030. Over two years, they engaged in dialogue sessions across major cities, focusing on three key issues: the future of global order, migration and refugee challenges, and urban governance. Utilizing strategic foresight tools like scenario planning, the fellows developed scenarios to address potential governance challenges. The report outlines various scenarios, including a bipolar world led by China and the U.S., a grand development bargain in Africa, and increased militarization in the Indo-Pacific. The findings suggest that the decline of Western influence may lead to the rise of alternative governance models, particularly through China's initiatives. The report emphasizes the need for innovative policy responses to navigate these complex futures, highlighting the importance of collaboration among diverse stakeholders. The insights gained from meetings with policymakers and experts informed the scenarios, which aim to prepare for potential global governance challenges in the coming decade.
