Imagine the Indo-Pacific becomes the new theater of global conflict. Picture a scenario in which misinformation about migration causes a crisis so severe that the world entirely loses faith in the refugee governance system. Or consider what would happen if cities became more sovereign and able to control the flows of migrants entering and leaving their territories. How could policymakers respond? With these futures in mind, what could they do — now?
The Global Governance Futures — Multilateral Dialogues 2030 (GGF 2030) is a fellowship program that brings together 27 exceptional individuals from nine countries to explore possible future developments and the plausible range of what could happen in the next decade. The fellows develop ideas for policies to mitigate the risks they identify and make the most of the opportunities presented by these futures. This round, they focused on the futures of the global migration and refugee challenge, the global order, and the role of cities in global governance.
The fellows met four times — in Washington, DC, New Delhi, São Paulo, and Paris and Berlin. Ahead of their final session in May 2019, they distilled their insights and ideas into final reports.
