From the National Intelligence Council's 2025 project:
1 - The whole international system—as constructed following WWII—will be revolutionized. Not only will new players—Brazil, Russia, India and China— have a seat at the international high table, they will bring new stakes and rules of the game.
2 - The unprecedented transfer of wealth roughly from West to East now under way will continue for the foreseeable future.
3 - Unprecedented economic growth, coupled with 1.5 billion more people, will put pressure on resources—particularly energy, food, and water—raising the specter of scarcities emerging as demand outstrips supply.
4 - The potential for conflict will increase owing partly to political turbulence in parts of the greater Middle East.
