Also from the article…

The report says Asia will overtake North America and Europe combined in global power as its GDP, population, military spending and technological investment surpasses the West’s, but that the US will remain what it calls “first among equals”.

And it warns that a “cyber arms race” is likely to occur as countries try to defend their infrastructure.

By 2030, the report says, 60 per cent of the world’s population will live in cities.

The demand for food will have risen by 35 per cent and demand for water will outstrip current sustainable supplies, making water a likely cause of regional conflicts, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East.

Quite an admission, might get some attention.
