Summary

The world is grappling with intense political and humanitarian challenges—raging wars, surging nationalism, and a warming climate, to name a few. Yet, we also stand at the brink of some of the most transformative opportunities in human history. So how do we make sense of the future and what’s next? Ian Bremmer breaks it all down in a special edition of the GZERO World Podcast: The 2024 State of the World. Each year, Ian examines the biggest political moments (and movements) and shares an honest assessment of where we are… and where we’re going. Most worrying? Leadership, or rather, the glaring lack of it. Nowhere is this clearer than in ongoing wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, where everyone claims to want peace, but no one is both willing and able to make it happen. But it’s not all bleak. There are plenty of reasons for optimism. Ian Bremmer discusses the good, the bad, and where we all go from here in his 2024 State of the World, delivered live at the GZERO Summit in Tokyo, Japan.

Hello and welcome to the G0 World podcast. I'm Ian Bremmer with a special edition of the show today,

0:08.8

a look at the state of the world in 2024. Each year I examine the biggest political moments and

0:16.0

movements and share my honest assessment of where we are and where we're going.

0:28.0

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the state of the world in 2024 is frankly not great.

0:30.0

Most worrying, leadership.

0:32.9

Or should I say, the glaring lack of it.

0:37.4

Our G0 world, one defined by a global leadership vacuum, the founding principle of this

0:39.4

very podcast feels more uncertain by the day.

0:43.7

It's an unsustainable dynamic that emerges when the world's most powerful actors, the United

0:48.6

States, China, steps back and refuse to be the global policeman.

0:54.6

But here's the good news.

0:55.7

I do believe some of the greatest opportunities in human history still lie ahead.

1:00.0

And so today, I'm sharing the good, the bad, and where we all go from here.

1:04.6

This is my 2024 state of the world delivered live at the GZero Summit in Tokyo, Japan.

1:11.6

Let's get to it.

1:12.6

We all know that the institutions, the rules of the road, are not aligned with the balance of power that we are experiencing today.

1:35.3

And when that happens, you have a few different options.

1:41.3

You can reform your existing institutions, change them to more reflect present reality.

1:48.0

You can build new institutions that make sense in a new environment, or you can go to war.

1:58.0

Now, we're doing all three, but our priorities are focused more on the third.

2:07.7

And that is not sustainable. I want to talk a little bit about what happens as we head closer to unsustainability, but also talk
