The Shared Perspective of the World in 2030 and Beyond: Security Implications

[PDF]

Introduction

The maintenance of future readiness and planning future capabilities in a complex and constantly evolving security environment demands extending the current mid-term 2020 planning horizon toward 2030 and beyond, where a different future security environment, its security and military implications and new broad strategic operating requirements are anticipated. Workshop #3 built upon outcomes of the second Workshop to adopt an initial perception of a shared perspective of security implications that the future security and operating environments of 2030 and beyond will present to the Alliance. The next step in the foresight process intends to expound upon these initial findings to develop a comprehensive, inclusive and transparent document during the summer of 2013.
