The World in 2020

When physicist Niels Bohr said, “Prediction is very difficult, especially of the future,” he could have been thinking of our era. How can we see through the enormous challenges of the present to prepare for the future? What are likely scenarios for the world economy, politics, environment, energy, and health?
