From managing climate change, feeding over 9 billion people by 2050, and coping with new security threats, navigating the future is tricky. At Diplomatic Courier we have examined the indicators and the trends for a decade.

The World in 2050 is a series of Global Summits hosted by Diplomatic Courier, in collaboration with private and public sector partners. The series was conceived in 2012 when the world reached 7 billion people, with the purpose of convening multi-stakeholders and to stimulate discussion and solutions about the future.
