First Ideas Network 2030 Annual Lecture
Global Trends to 2030: The challenges ahead for Europe
by Klaus Welle, Secretary General, European Parliament
The organisers of IN2030 have decided to establish an annual platform for leading political figures for them to come to address the major themes of our age with a time horizon of 2030. The purpose of this event was not to predict the future – so many efforts have been directed in this way but to little effect as disruptive events, which by their nature are unpredictable, always seem to intervene. The Covid 19 Pandemic provides an excellent example. Instead, it is by being well informed about major long-term trends underway that an outline of our future destiny can be determined.
This event was organised in cooperation with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS).
