A recap and video of this event is available here.
Every four years, the National Intelligence Council (NIC) releases an assessment of the forces and dynamics likely to shape the national security environment over the next 20 years. Known as the Global Trends Report, it is intended to provide each incoming or returning U.S. presidential administration an unclassified assessment of the strategic environment. The most recent report identified four structural forces that will shape the future and five potential scenarios for the world in 2040.
Please join the American Security Project (ASP) on Thursday, February 10, for a conversation with Dr. Gregory Treverton, former chairman of the National Intelligence Council. Dr. Treverton will discuss the most recent Global Trends report and the conceptual and practical value of the long-term thinking Global Trends provides.
