This trend report is the output of the first phase of the Standardization Foresight Framework: environmental scanning. It is designed to support the ISO community to navigate global trends as we work towards achieving the goals and priorities of the ISO Strategy 2030.

In this report, we expand upon the drivers of change identified in the Strategy, breaking them down into smaller trends and analyzing their links to existing ISO work. Our ultimate aim is to better understand the context in which we operate, so that ISO can effectively meet emerging-market needs and help to shape a more sustainable future.
