Our world and us

The world we live in is changing, and so are our societies. Some transformations we can observe and experience every day. Others, such as the aging of our societies and global warming, might appear far removed from our everyday life. Yet these developments will have profound consequences for us. This book assembles research, forecasts and ideas from scientists around the world. They look into the future and explain what climate change and demographic trends will mean for us. They also suggest what governments, societies, companies and we as individuals can do to manage change and turn it to our advantage.
