In 2030, the world is divided and
countries are defined economically
by whether or not they belong to
the Green Trade Alliance (GTA),
formed in 2016 to promote
“environmental sustainability
without compromising
competitiveness.” GTA countries,
including some industrialised,
resource-rich and developing
countries, have experienced a
period of accelerating innovation
and lifestyle changes. While there
is strong alignment among GTA
countries, non-GTA countries
operate independently.
