- 20. Future Agenda 2.0 The first Future Agenda programme engaged a wide range of views in 25 countries. Future Agenda 2.0 doubled the face-‐to-‐face interac2on and significantly raised online sharing, debate and discussion.

- 23. Imbalanced Popula3on Growth A growing popula2on adds another billion people but it is also rapidly ageing: a child born next year will live 6 months longer than one born today. While migra2on helps to rebalance, increasing dependency ra2os challenge many.
- 24. Key Resource Constraints Economic, physical and poli2cal shortages of key resources increase and drive increasing tension between and within countries. As we exceed the Earth’s natural thresholds, food and water receive as much focus as oil and gas.
- 25. ShiSing Power and Influence The centre of gravity of economic power con2nues shiZing eastwards, back to where it was 200 years ago. Recent superpowers seek to moderate the pace of change but the reali2es of popula2on and resource loca2ons are immoveable.
- 26. The Changing Nature of Privacy As privacy is a public issue, more interna2onal frameworks seek to govern the Internet, protect the vulnerable and secure personal data: The balance between protec2on, security, privacy and public good is increasingly poli2cal.
- 27. Autonomous Vehicles The shiZ to fully autonomous transport is an evolu2on via truck platoons on highways and small urban delivery pods. Connected cars create the network and test the technologies for the eventual revolu2onary driverless experience.
- 28. Accelera3ng Displacement Climate change, conflict, resource shortages, inequality and poli2cal elites unable or unwilling to bring about necessary change all trigger unprecedented migra2on to the North. Over the next 50 years, as many as 1 billion people could be on the move.
- 29. Companies with Purpose As trust in ‘business’ declines, structures and prac2ces of large corpora2ons are under scru2ny. Businesses come under greater pressure to improve performance on environmental, social and governance issues.
- 30. Eco-‐Civilisa3on Over the past 40 years China has grown apace, mostly without concern for long-‐term environmental impacts. However, now faced with major challenges, a bright light of sustainable development is emerging.
- 31. Future Innova3on Opportuni3es
- 32. Selec3on Criteria We have chosen those areas that meet three criteria: being global / mul2 regional in impact, s2ll requiring significant progress and having the poten2al to create new value. Global or Mul2 Regional Impact Poten2al to Create New Value S2ll Require Significant Progress
- 33. Reducing Air Pollu3on Rising air pollu2on in many ci2es is already killing people. It will become a visible catalyst for changing mind-‐sets and policies across health, energy, transporta2on and urban design.
- 34. Providing Basic Sanita3on Poor sanita2on con2nues to impact public health and restrict social progress, par2cularly for women. Governments and donor organisa2ons priori2se measurement, educa2on and innova2on in a bid to drive change.
- 35. Minimising Food Waste 30-‐50% of our food is wasted either in the supply chain or in consump2on and could feed another 3 billion. Op2mising distribu2on and storage in developing countries and enabling beSer consumer informa2on in others could solve this.
- 36. Delivering Affordable Healthcare The escala2ng cost of healthcare is further stressed by the need to support the old and the chronically ill. Spending 20% of GDP on healthcare is seen as unsustainable so hard decisions are taken around budgets and priori2es.
- 37. Driving the Educa3on Revolu3on Broader access to improved educa2on acts as a major catalyst for empowerment, sustained economic growth, overcoming inequality and reducing conflict. We need an educa2on system fit for the digital revolu2on.
- 38. True Value of Clean Water As water stress impacts 40% of the world, we will have to pay the true value for this key resource. In a more water-‐conscious world, the cost of water is recognised, full water footprints are measured and companies significantly reduce consump2on.
- 39. Suppor3ng Working Longer People are having to work for longer to support longer re2rements. Flexible working prac2ces and policies are emerging, but some employers con2nue to remain ambivalent about older workers.
- 40. Building Data Marketplaces Data is a currency, it has a value and a price, and therefore requires a market place. An ecosystem for trading data is emerging and anything that is informa2on is represented in a new data marketplace.
- 41. Inves3ng in Nature’s Capital In the Anthropocene, humankind is presiding over the Earth's sixth major ex2nc2on. But as biodiversity declines, nature becomes increasingly valued and valuable.
- 42. Governance of Machines Automa2on spreads beyond trading and managing systemic risk. As we approach technology singularity, autonomous robots and smarter algorithms make ethical judgments that impact life or death.
