Harnessing
technology for a better future

Looking
into the future is always difficult and often problematic-but sometimes it's
useful to imagine what innovations might resolve today's problems and make tomorrow
better. In this book, 15 distinguished international experts examine how
technology will affect the human condition and natural world within the next
ten years.

Their stories reflect major
ambitions for what the future could bring and offer a glimpse into the
possibilities for achieving the UN's ambitious Sustainable Development Goals.

The
authors were asked to envision future success in their respective fields, given
the current state of technology and potential progress over the next decade. The
central question driving their research: What are likely technological advances
that could contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals at major scale, affecting the lives of hundreds of millions
of people or substantial geographies around the globe.

One
overall takeaway is that gradualist approaches will not achieve those goals by
2030. Breakthroughs will be necessary in science, in the development of new
products and services, and in institutional systems.

Each of the
experts responded with stories that reflect big ambitions for what the future
may bring. Their stories are not projections or forecasts as to what will
happen; they are reasoned and reasonable conjectures about what could happen.
The editors' intent is to provide a glimpse into the possibilities for the
future of sustainable development.

At a time when many people worry
about stalled progress on the economic, social, and environmental challenges of
sustainable development, Breakthrough is a reminder that the promise of
a better future is within our grasp, across a range of domains. It will interest
anyone who wonders about the world's economic, social, and environmental
future.
