15 Global Challenges


"15 Global Challenges" have been defined and tracked since 1997 in the reports. The challenges were defined by the Project's Global Outlook Panel through modified Delphi method questionnaires and are updated annually. The material exists in several languages and the inputs have come from the project's forty nodes around the world. The descriptions of each challenge include a review of the current state of affairs, approaches to address the challenge, and regional perspectives.
