… future proofing, […] describes the elusive process of trying to anticipate future developments, so that action can be taken to minimise possible negative consequences, and to seize opportunities. (IFHE 2008, p. 2)

2. The Sustainable Development Goals 2

A world transformed … • … from today where poverty and great inequality no longer exist, where good healthcare and education are available for all, and where economic growth no longer harms the environment • The ambition is huge • Every country in the world falls short on more than half of the 17 SDGs • A quarter of the world falls short on all 17 goals

Poverty and inequality Number of people living below US $1.90 a day (2011 PPP) 1990-2013

Number of out-of-school children of primary school age, selected regions, 1990-2015 (millions)

Demography Population of the world and major regions (billion): 1950-2015, 2030 and 2050 according to medium-variant projection

Shocks and crises Number of disasters associated with natural hazards worldwide and by continent, 1976-2015

Shocks and crises Undernourishment trends across regions, 1990-1992, 2014-2016
