Seven Revolutions

Seven Revolutions is an ongoing research initiative to identify the most important macrotrends defining our world to 2050. Click here for an overview fact sheet on the Seven Revolutions.

Research findings are presented in a fast-paced, data- and visual-rich presentation that uncovers the drivers reshaping the future of human population, resources, technology, information, economics, security, and governance. Taken together, these forces of change—the “Seven Revolutions”—are a call to action for leaders in government, business, and civil society to begin to think, plan, and act for a better future.

Senior Fellow, John Schaus, leads this effort to look beyond today’s vertigo-inducing headlines and identify the underlying challenges and opportunities for humanity in the decades ahead.

For more information, please contact John Schaus at JSchaus@csis.org.
