Description

Global Trends 2025 is the fourth installment in the National Intelligence Council-led effort

To identify key drivers and developments likely to shape world events a decade or more in the future.

Both the product and the process used to produce it benefited from lessons learned in previous iterations.

Each edition of Global Trends has tapped larger and more diverse communities of experts.

The first effort, which looked out to 2010, relied primarily on expertise within the US Intelligence Community.

There was some outreach to other elements of the United States Government and the American academic
community.

For Global Trends 2015, they engaged more numerous and more varied groups of non-US Government experts, most of whom were American citizens.
