Rethinking the 2020s

COVID-19 is changing the world in significant ways. The Shell Scenarios team has explored the potential impact of the crisis.

We believe there will be three dramatic tensions at play in the 2020s 鈥� between wealth, security and health. People will seek all of these to some extent, but what societies choose to prioritise may differ. These priorities, along with different societal capabilities, such as public health, could shape the decade.

Scenarios describe possible future worlds to help stretch how we all think about and plan for the future 鈥� so we can make better decisions today. These are not predictions, Shell strategy or business plans.
