Imagine the Future Competition
“Imagine the Future” is a competition that has been organized by Shell companies in Asia Pacific and the Middle East since 2016. The competition aims to involve university students in exploring plausible views of the future by building and using scenarios that incorporate economic, environmental, legal, political, social and technological driving forces. This year, the competition is organized under the theme of “More and cleaner energy in Asia Pacific and Middle East cities in 2050: How will residents live, work and play.”
The World as They See It: How Today’s Youths Envision the Way We Live, Work and Play in the Future
The future is uncertain, but the issues we face today can give rise to a range of possible future outcomes.
Different factors such as the economy, environment, politics and technologies affect global energy use and demand, and can vastly change how we live, work and play in the future. Exploring and anticipating alternative futures will determine if we are able to successfully navigate the world of tomorrow.
Shell, a pioneer in the use of scenario with 50 years of experience, taps into this skill to enable youths to stretch their thinking and imagination to address our energy challenges. By imagining plausible alternative views of the future, these scenarios allow youths to explore the future and the potential challenges of living in it.
