THE WORLD IN 2030: MEGATRENDS TO WATCH OUT
Andrew S. Winston, founder of Winston Eco-Strategies and an adviser to multinationals
on how they can navigate humanity’s biggest challenges and profit from solving them, asked by
his client to paint a picture of what the big trends tell us about 2030.
According to him, the directions we go and choices we make will have enormous impacts
on our lives, careers, businesses, and the world. Here are his predictions of how nine important
trends will evolve by 2030:
Demographics: There will be about 1 billion more of us, and we will live longer. The
fastest-growing demographic will be the elderly, with the population of people over 65 years old
at 1 billion by 2030. Most of those new billion will be in the middle class economically, as the
percentage of citizens in dire poverty continues to drop.
Urbanization: Two-thirds of us will live in cities. Countervailing forces will include a rising
cost of living in the most desirable cities. The effects will include the need for more big buildings
with better management technologies
Transparency: Our world will become even more open — and less private. The amount
of information collected will grow exponentially, and the pressure to share that information with
customers and consumers in particular will expand but all these tools will shatter privacy in the
process.
Climate Crisis: The climate will continue to change quickly and feature regular, extreme
weather everywhere. The melting of the major ice sheets will be literally inundating most coastal
cities, and we’re truly approaching an “Uninhabitable Earth” in our lifetimes.
Resource Pressures: We will be forced to more aggressively confront resource
constraints. Water will be a stressed resource, and it seems likely that many cities will be
constantly in a state of water shortage.
Clean Tech: The transformation of our grid, our roadways, and our buildings to zerocarbon technology will be surprisingly far along. Electric vehicles will be a large part of the
transportation equation. Renewable energy is dramatically on the rise because of the strict
legislation banning fossil-fuel engines
Technology Shifts: The internet of things will have won the day, and every new device will
become connected. AI and machine learning will plan much of our lives and make us more
efficient, well beyond choosing driving routes to optimize traffic. Technology will manipulate us
Global Policy: There’s an open question about how we’ll get important things done.
Predicting politics is nearly impossible, and it’s hard to imagine how global policy action on
climate and other megatrends will play out.
Populism: The rise of nationalism and radicalism may increase. Even less certain than
policy is the support, or lack thereof, of the mass of people for different philosophies of governing.
