NATO 2099 with Dr Florence Gaub

NATO Through Time

How can we accurately predict future events?

How do we persuade political leaders to look beyond the next couple of years?

What lies ahead for NATO, in the coming years and in the distant future?

In this episode, researcher and futurist Dr Florence Gaub walks us through her work as a strategic foresight advisor. As Director of the Research Division at the NATO Defense College in Rome, she leads a team that looks for “weak signals” of future events, helping ensure that NATO policymakers are prepared to respond to even the most unlikely scenarios. To celebrate NATO’s 75th anniversary year, she also led the creation of the NATO 2099 graphic novel, looking ahead at the next 75 years of NATO and imagining what the world might look like on NATO’s 150th anniversary.
