WEBINAR: What does the Global Future hold?
DATE: 10-28 May 2021
As part of the scenario development process that informs the modelling work for the Global Resources Outlook 2023, the International Resource Panel is inviting leading thinkers to present, in a series of webcasts on selected topics, what they see on the horizon with regards to possible and plausible futures. We ask them to discuss the key risks and opportunities in each domain and how they think risks can be managed and opportunities achieved.
The webcast series ‘What does the Global Future hold?’ is open to the public. It includes talks followed by Q&A sessions with speakers.

Following the webcast series, the Panel will carry out workshops to co-develop a desirable future and identify the policies which create conditions for this future to be achieved. We, therefore, hope this series of webcasts will inspire all to think about how the future could evolve and what might be necessary to steer the path towards the future we want.
