Future of Latin America

Growing international uncertainty and complexity are provoking an increasing interest in studies of the future.  Profound transformations in the world economy, climate change, and new technologies will ensure that the region’s future is inextricably connected to developments taking place beyond the borders of individual nations.  To address these new challenges, the Inter-American Dialogue is working to support the development of strategic thinking in Latin America, using future and foresight studies.

Global Trends & Future Scenarios

The Inter-American Dialogue, in coordination with the IDB and under the direction of Sergio Bitar, has compiled one of the largest database of reports on long-term trends worldwide. The reports explore critical issues related to global and regional trends and future scenarios in areas such as governance, technology, demography, the environment, and geopolitics. With the registry, one can search by topic, institution, country, year, and keyword, and the search results are presented in chronological order, with an executive summary and ability to download the whole document.
