Our future world: global megatrends that will change the way we live

Abstract

This CSIRO report discusses the possible ways the environment and natural resources will be used in the future and how society and culture will accommodate and adjust to these changes. Despite the challenge, humanity has an incredible ability to innovate and adapt. The More from less megatrend explores how companies, governments and communities will discover new ways of ensuring quality of life for current and future generations within the confines of the natural world’s limited resources.

Science, technology, business processes, government policy, lifestyle patterns and cultural norms will all play a role.
