In 2010, CSIRO delivered Our Future World, an analysis of global trends, shocks and scenarios that will affect us all. The report describes the outcomes from a CSIRO global foresight project, which identified five interrelated megatrends that may redefine how we will live in this world:

• More from less – a world of limited resources

• A personal touch – Personalisation of products and services

• Divergent demographics – Older, hungry and more demanding

• On the move – Urbanising and increased mobility

• iWorld – Digital and natural convergence

However, what could these global trends, shocks and scenarios mean for us on a local level?

In 2012, The Brisbane Institute is proud to be working with CSIRO to produce Foresights for Queensland – a rolling, two-year syndicate project to map the trends, signals and uncertainties facing us at a local level over the next 30 years and identify plausible business and social scenarios.
