In the forecast, the report thinks that the 2030 world is different from the world today to its roots, in which the hegemonic role does not belong to the United States, nor is it China or any other country. The United States has avoided energy dependence and balanced with China's current superiority in the trade balance.

Although the US role in the world is much lower than that of developing countries, it still allows the country to "stand on par with other countries in the forefront" . It is thanks to economic power and advanced technologies.

In general, the economic potential of European, Japanese and Russian countries has been lowered. Russia's population will fall by 10 million, leading to a serious shortage of labor.

Control of oil prices by OPEC oil exporters in the next 20 years will be disabled because economies are no longer dependent on oil and gas sold by these countries. The development of information technology as well as the concept of social networks and network safety will have a profound effect on economic efficiency and become one of the most powerful motivations in the world economic market.

20 years later, the world population will reach 8.3 billion people, 1.2 billion more than today. This will lead to a strong process of urbanization and migration. The report also mentions very rapid advances in medical technology, but the life expectancy issue will impact on the lack of clean water and food. The demand for clean water will double and the food must increase by one third more to meet the population's growth.
