A research study is under way to figure out how Pakistan will be by 2060.
The study, undertaken by AGAHI, the Pakistan Node of the Millennium Project, aims to check and test assumptions about Pakistan’s future among the leadership and wider society, explore perceptions of Pakistanis from both inside and outside the country, and identify future risks and opportunities.
According to a press release, AGAHI head Puruesh Chaudhary said they will partner with experts and organisations to produce specific future studies and the ‘State of Futures Index-Pakistan’. Jerome Glenn, co-founder and director of The Millennium Project said “humanity needs to think together in a systematic research-based common platform about our planetary future.
The Millennium Project’s annual ‘State of the Future’ report and the Global Futures Intelligence System have begun to address that need.”
Glenn welcomed the Pakistani Node to connect the views of Pakistan’s future-oriented institutions and individuals with others around the world to help build a better future for humanity as a whole.
