The World Ahead - 2022 - a podcast by World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth

The Economist’s “The World Ahead” series is published every year as an outlook of what is likely to occur in the upcoming year. Tom Standage, the series’ editor, will share an overview of the publication’s content, delving into informed predictions of the year to come, analysis of world affairs from experts and public figures, and important topics to think about as 2021 draws to an end. In 2022, what state will Western democracy be in? How will the Earth fare in the face of unprecedented climate change? Will it become more common for regular civilians to leave the Earth via space travel? Standage will cover these questions and more.
