This comprehensive report, "A World Adrift: Chaos, Uncertainty, and Pathways Forward," examines the escalating global instability characterized by numerous active conflicts and widespread social unrest. It identifies key drivers of this chaos, including geopolitical shifts, economic disparities, societal polarization, and the erosion of democratic norms. The report particularly highlights the United States' internal divisions, such as political polarization and the influence of figures like Donald Trump, as both a reflection of and contributor to global instability, even assessing the risk of domestic conflict. Ultimately, it explores various future scenarios, from further global fragmentation to potential pathways for de-escalation, democratic repair, and rebuilding trust, emphasizing the critical need for both leadership and grassroots action.
