SEI Currents 2023 – which trends will shape 2023?
The world is in transition. New trends are emerging. Which of these will shape 2023? SEI Currents 2023 taps the institute’s expertise and insights from SEI centres across five continents to identify trends emerging in 2023 and beyond. On 11 January four trends will be discussed by a diverse expert panel. Ambassador Csaba Kőrösi, President of UN General Assembly, will deliver the keynote speech.
The transitions are accelerated by the impacts of climate change, an unfolding energy crisis, the effects of the war in Ukraine and inflation growing in many parts of the world. What risks and opportunities are surfacing? What issues warrant greater attention? SEI researchers have identified four key trends affecting the transition of communities, societies, technologies, the private sector, public policymaking, and international relations.
