Future of Government foresight radar is now available on Futures Platform. The radar looks at social, technological, economic, environmental and political issues the governments will have to deal with in the next two decades.
Governments around the world have felt the uncertainty of recent years. The coming decades will also be filled with changes and challenges that need to be addressed by those in power. The Future of Government radar presents the strategic level phenomena that each country needs to consider when planning the future of their nation.
The radar takes a STEEP approach on large-scale issues that will need a government-level response. Change drivers and factors presented are, in many cases, intertwined, and the viewpoints on the radar reflect the world's growing complexity.
The Future of Government radar is relevant for any state-level public actor seeking to make sense of the future opportunities, risks, needs and changes they will likely face.
