2022 - What's to come? An EUISS film

We know a few things about the year ahead: it will have 49 elections, one World Cup and Olympic Games. But there is also a lot that we don’t know.

What will 2022 bring?

Our annual foresight exercise is taking on a new form this year. In the video below, the EUISS analysts tell us how they see the year to come and what we should expect or brace ourselves for.

COVID-19, the economy, potential unrest, conflicts, elections, geopolitics, climate, energy and key developments in defence, cyber and space: we review the challenges facing the EU and the world in 2022 to help anticipate disruptions and be better prepared for the coming year.
