What governments need to change? Changes in policy include:
1. The growth in the engagement of national governments in international, regional and jurisdictional forums where many of the interconnected and difficult issues confronting governments will need to find voice and resolution.
Certain megatrend consequences are more global in terms of their scope and thus better managed from an international co-operative perspective, which links in to national and sub- national government priorities.
For example, while there have been ongoing efforts to coordinate global responses to combat climate change, these will need to be accelerated to prevent the most devastating impacts of rising C02 emissions.
