Deep dive into the rifts and shifts facing society in 2025 and beyond and how we can prepare for what the future holds.
The world in 2025 is characterised by shifting geopolitical power dynamics, hopes – and concerns – for technological advancements, economic uncertainty and a ticking clock against climate change.
We have never been more connected thanks to developments in technology. But this same technology is exacerbating inequalities and polarising society.
We spend with a simple tap while economies crash and the numbers of those falling below the poverty line increase.
We have more reason than ever before to work together as a global people, but we continue to grapple with conflicts that are displacing and destroying communities.
Over the course of the upcoming academic year, Newcastle University – in partnership with Lloyds – invites its global community of students, alumni, colleagues and partners to explore how these ongoing changes and challenges can be tackled together.
