Tackling the problems and opportunities inherent in big societal concerns will take concerted effort from across the spectrum—public agencies and private companies, nonprofits and academics, multinational foundations, and community groups. But no matter what teams are assembled, government will play a key role in constructing the scaffolding on which solutions are built.

Government’s Future Frontiers examines what it takes to confront some of the most pressing issues of today, and the emerging questions that will help build the future. We’ll look at what it takes to build the coalitions of public and private sector players who can take on these issues and share solutions and ideas emerging from around the globe. We can’t predict all the issues that will emerge in the coming years—but we can provide a roadmap to how those issues may be resolved.
