On Tuesday, February 10 at 12:00 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security will host the report launch of Global Foresight 2036, featuring discussions with Atlantic Council senior directors and experts on the direction global affairs may unfold in the decade ahead.

Geopolitics, great-power competition, climate change, and emerging technologies are rapidly shifting the international system and security landscape. To prepare and respond to uncertainty, the United States and its allies and partners must develop forward-thinking strategies for the emerging challenges and opportunities the world will face over the next ten years.

The event will highlight Global Foresight 2036‘s survey findings, assess the future of US grand strategy, China, and Europe, uncover under-the-radar phenomena, and preview a video exploring the future of artificial intelligence.

New policy: In-person attendees will be required to show photo ID upon arrival, and no on-site registration will be permitted. Guests will not be admitted later than twenty minutes after the event’s start time. Registration for this event will close at 5:00 p.m. ET the day prior.
