The five mega-trends shaping our world

From the shock of the pandemic to war in Ukraine, steeply rising prices and some alarmingly wobbly banks: it can feel as if the world right now is lurching from crisis to crisis, and governments and businesses are running to catch up.
In truth, though, no change happens in isolation, nor is it spontaneous. All these crises are linked, and underlying them is a big picture of five mega-trends that are shaping our long-term future on the planet: tech and life science, conflict, demographics, and global migration, with the combined challenges of environmental degradation, declining biodiversity, and climate change at the very centre. These issues have to be addressed at the same time and from multiple different perspectives. But how can this be done against a background of competing priorities and balancing the needs of individuals, organisations, and countries?
MP and former investment banker, the Rt Hon Sajid Javid has been at the sharp end of tackling some of these challenges during a remarkable political career that includes spells as Secretary of State for Culture, Digital, Media & Sport; Secretary of State for Business; Secretary of State for Housing and Local Government; Home Secretary; Chancellor of the Exchequer; and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. He will discuss these mega-trends and the intersection of politics, economics and business with Mari Sako, Professor of Management Studies at Oxford Saïd, on 9 May 2023.
