One of the Richmond area’s top 10 employers,Wells Fargo is committed to building strong and vibrant communities, and making a positive difference where we live and work. With over 2,800 employees in Central Virginia and over 9,400 throughout the Commonwealth, our priorities of customer service and philanthropy remain at the heart of all we do. The more we serve our customers and our communities with the best of our abilities, the stronger we will be.

Wells Fargo promotes economic growth and self-sufficiency, education, social services, the arts, and the environment in thousands of communities. Last year, our local leaders in Central and Eastern Virginia donated over $3 million to local non-profit agencies through our

foundation and bank giving. In addition to our philanthropic investments, our team members give generously their time to volunteer in our communities.

For the past two years in the month of September, team members across Virginia, Maryland and D.C. have participated in Feed the Need Day—an initiative where our team members volunteer with local hunger-related non-profit organizations. Team members in Central Virginia logged over 10,000 volunteer hours and personally donated over $1.6 million to non-profits of their choice as part of the company’s annual Community Support and United Way Campaign.

Now more than ever, Wells Fargo is supporting its customers during these difficult times by helping them keep their homes, growing small businesses, and supporting our communities.

We want to help all our customers succeed financially and create long-term economic growth and quality of life for everyone in our communities. Together, we will go far!

Since leaving Number 10 Downing Street, The Rt. Hon. Gordon Brown has focused his wealth of experience as a world leader on identifying the global forces that will shape our future. In his address at The Richmond Forum, Brown will look ahead to the year 2025 and chart the massive technological, demographic, social, and political trends—including the explosive growth of a global middle class—that will reinvent our world. He will also explore whether and how we can convert a new wave of scientific and medical progress into a more sustainable and widely-shared prosperity, helping to bring an end to global poverty.

Gordon Brown became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 2007 with an agenda stressing education, international development, narrowing social inequalities, restoring trust in politics, and combating terrorism. He served as Prime Minister until 2010 and is credited with preventing a second Great Depression through his stewardship of the 2009 London G20 summit.

He was first elected to Parliament in 1983 and continues to hold his seat representing Kirkcaldy

and Cowdenbeath.

Believing that education breaks the cycle of poverty and unlocks better health and job opportunities, Gordon Brown is a passionate advocate for global action to ensure education for all and serves as the United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education. In this role, he works closely with international partners to help galvanize support for the Secretary-General’s Education First initiative, which focuses on children around the world who are currently being denied the right to an education. The program’s goal is to have 57 million of these children attending school by 2015.

Brown is the chair of the Policy and Initiatives Board of the World Economic Forum and also serves as a Global Fellow of New York University and as the Chancellor of Adam Smith College in Kirkcaldy. He is on the Board of Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web Foundation, advising on ways to involve global leaders and disadvantaged communities in the development of sustainable programs that connect humanity.

He recently completed a research project on globalization and education at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. He is also a Patron of the Burma Campaign.

Brown is the author of several books, including Beyond the Crash: Overcoming the First Crisis of Globalization, and a forthcoming work, 2025: Shaping a New Future.

Brown has a Ph.D. in History from the University of Edinburgh and spent his early career working as a lecturer. He is married to Sarah Brown, who is co-founder of the A World at School campaign and the Chair of the Global Business Coalition for Education. The couple lives in London and Fife, Scotland, with their two sons, John and Fraser.

We Googled “2025” and found that tonight’s speaker is not alone in setting his sights on this year. What follows is a collection of predictions, visions, and goals culled from 35,100,000 search results. (We must confess that we only read the first million.)

Under business-as-usual conditions, humankind will be using 50 percent of the land surface on the planet by 2025.1 Today, experts consider 21 countries, with a combined population of about 600 million, to be either cropland- or freshwater-scarce.

Owing to continuing population growth, 36 countries, with about 1.4 billion people, are projected to fall into this category by 2025. [...]

Climate change is likely to exacerbate resource scarcities, particularly water scarcities.2 As the global community becomes more multifaceted and amorphous, conventional military and economic power will decline, and America’s role as the global hegemon will diminish. Specifically, the global balance of power will shift away from the West as Asia surpasses North America and Europe in GDP, population, military spending, and technological investment. Other countries in Latin America, Eurasia, and Africa may also rise as significant global players. The United States is likely to remain “first among equals” due to its established diplomacy, still substantial economic power, and still vastly superior military capabilities, but it may no longer have near-autonomy over energy-related issues such as securing shipping lanes or policing international conflicts.3 India’s current rate of annual population growth is about twice that of China (1.55 percent versus 0.66 percent); as a consequence, its population

will equal China’s in 2025 (at about 1.4 billion) and exceed it thereafter. India’s population is projected to continue increasing at least through 2050, while China’s will reach its maximum (about 1.5 billion) in 2032, declining thereafter.4 Companies from the East are expected to dominate the initial public offering (IPO) pipeline by 2025. China is predicted by around 80% of respondents to be the home of most new issuers by 2025 and also to raise the most capital by 2025. India comes second in terms of issuers, but third in terms of capital.5 The combined gross domestic product of China and India is expected to exceed that of the major seven (G7) economies in 2025.6 It is expected that by 2025 or sooner humans will be able to watch three-dimensional programming [holographic television], suspended in mid-air and delivering entertainment, informational and educational programs. Sporting events and film actors will seem to appear in the middle of your living room as if they were standing there in real life. It’s also expected that humans will be able to make themselves characters in their favorite sporting events or films.7 Eradicating hunger in Africa by 2025 is achievable—if Africa’s leaders champion it and promote improved crop production and healthy eating.8 (Continued)

glimpses of 2025

Glimpses of 2025

By 2025, working with partners, we aim to help 150 million of the world’s poorest families lift themselves out of extreme poverty.

By 2025, we will immunize 90 percent of children against diseases like measles, pneumococcal pneumonia, and rotavirus.

The global mortality rate for children less than 5 years old has declined by half over the past 50 years. With the help of vaccines, malaria drugs, and bed nets; improved care for newborns; and better access to diarrhea and pneumonia treatments, it is possible to cut the rate in half again by 2025.

By 2025, we will help dramatically increase the number of students who graduate from high school ready for college and go on to complete a degree with real value in the workplace.

The Obama Administration today finalized groundbreaking standards that will increase fuel economy to the equivalent of 54.5 MPG for cars and light-duty trucks by Model Year 2025. When combined with previous standards set by this Administration, this move will nearly double the fuel efficiency of those vehicles compared to new vehicles currently on our roads. In total, the Administration’s national program to improve fuel economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions will save consumers more than $1.7 trillion at the gas pump and reduce U.S. oil consumption by 12 billion barrels. [...] For families purchasing a

Model Year 2025 vehicle, the net savings will be comparable to lowering the price of gasoline by approximately $1 per gallon.9 Russia has the potential to be richer, more powerful, and more self-assured in 2025 if it invests in human capital, expands and diversifies its economy, and integrates with global markets.2 People working in 2025 may view today’s work life as differently as we perceive the office life of the 1800’s. Technology will be a major force of change, but the agents of change will be the innovative knowledge workers who envision, articulate, and implement the technology.10 North American and European cities are among the world’s most competitive today and are likely to retain their advantage until 2025, despite concerns over aging populations and infrastructure, indebtedness, and slow growth.6 Terrorism is unlikely to disappear by 2025, but its appeal could lessen if economic growth continues in the Middle East and youth unemployment is reduced. For those terrorists that are active the diffusion of technologies will put dangerous capabilities within their reach.2 The international system—as constructed following the Second World War—will be almost unrecognizable by 2025 owing to the rise of emerging powers, a globalizing economy, an historic transfer of relative wealth and economic power from West to East, and the growing influence of non-state actors. [...] By 2025, the international system will be a global multipolar one with gaps in national power continuing to narrow between developed and developing countries. [...]

By 2025 the explosion in world population, automobile ownership, and urbanization trends will make physical travel more complex and time consuming. In contrast, technology will continue to shrink, disappearing into the fabric of our life, eventually becoming so small that it will be embedded in our clothes and environment. Yet, even while technology increasingly disappears, the influence it has on each of us will increase dramatically, fostered by cloud computing and massively expanded use of personal data.10 The dollar is vulnerable to a major financial crisis, and the dollar’s international role is likely to decline from that of the unparalleled “global reserve currency” to something of a first among equals in a basket of currencies by 2025. This could occur suddenly, in the wake of a crisis, or gradually, with global rebalancing. This decline will entail real tradeoffs and force new, difficult choices in the conduct of American foreign policy.2

2025 Vision: 25x‘25 Alliance

[In 2025,] the United States will remain the single most powerful country but will be less dominant.2 Growth in U.S. oil demand is also forecast to be modest through 2025 due to improvements in vehicle efficiency and the growing use of alternative fuels, such as electricity and natural gas, in the transportation sector.

Despite a revival in domestic oil production and a decline in imports, [in 2025,] American oil dependence continues to constrain U.S. foreign policy and burden a military that stands constantly ready as the protector of the world’s vital oil arteries.

As it does today, in 2025 the United States will face oil prices determined in a global marketplace rife with instability, collusion, and underinvestment. This vulnerability is not fundamentally altered by producing more oil domestically.3 Ten Most Populated Countries in 202513 India...........................................1,396,046,308 China.......................................... 1,394,638,699 United States..................................351,352,771 Indonesia.......................................278,502,882 Nigeria...........................................234,362,895 Brazil............................................. 231,886,946 Pakistan......................................... 228,385,138 Bangladesh......................................197,673,655 Ethiopia..........................................140,139,507 Mexico.......................................... 130,198,692

By 2025, America’s farms, forests, and ranches will provide 25 percent of the total energy consumed in the United States, while continuing to produce safe, abundant, and affordable food, feed, and fiber.12

glimpses of 2025 (continued)

Power will be more dispersed, with the newer players bringing new rules of the game, while risks will increase that the traditional Western alliances will weaken. Rather than emulating Western models of political and economic development, more countries may be attracted to China’s alternative development model.2

Amazing Moments.

Made Possible By you.

Thank you for your support of the Ralph Krueger Memorial Fund.

Earlier today, Gordon Brown spoke to the 500 student delegates participating in the 17th annual Governor’s School M o d e l Un it e d Nations (GSMUN XVII) here in R ichmond. On behalf of all the middle and high school students who attended and staffed the conference, we would like to thank Mr. Brown as well as the generous sponsors, subscribers, and staff of The Richmond Forum for a deeply inspiring opportunity.

Model United Nations, an activity that involves tens of thousands of students from middle school to college, simulates the United Nations. Interested students attend Model UN conferences such as GSMUN and are transformed into delegates representing countries from across the globe. Before attending a conference, delegates research their country’s stance on global issues, such as nuclear proliferation and human trafficking.

Then, during the conference, they seek to pass resolutions highlighting a plan of action to combat the issue. In recent years, the Model UN umbrella has expanded beyond the organs of the United Nations System (such as the UN Security Council) to include historical simulations, joint-crisis committees, and other intergovernmental organizations such as the Arab League and European Union. Through Model UN, young people learn the art of

diplomacy, debate global issues, enhance their public speaking and research skills, develop collaborative solutions, and engage with the world around them.

GSMUN XVII offers committees, such as UNESCO within the traditional United Nations System, as well as some innovative committees including: the Afghan National Assembly, the Revolutionary War joint-crisis between the Second Continental Congress and the British Parliament, the Rio Olympics Committee, the Facebook Board of Directors, and a Spanish-immersion committee exploring the Mexican Revolution of 1910.

In keeping with the conference motto, “Take up the Torch,” GSMUN XVII pledges to help build civil society in Afghanistan as U.S. and ISAF forces move to withdraw by the end of 2014. GSMUN’s official charity is the Afghan Institute of Learning, founded in 1995

by Dr. Sakena Yacoobi. Under the oppression of Taliban rule in Afghanistan, Dr. Yacoobi ran 80 underground schools for over 3,000 girls. Today, the Afghan Institute of Learning provides education and healthcare for the women and children of Afghanistan, a mission that epitomizes the goals of the GSMUN conference.

GSMUN is proud to have been able to partner with The Richmond Forum to make this one of our most memorable conferences ever.

Matthew T. King Secretary-General, GSMUN XVII Matthew is a senior at Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School and has been attending The Richmond Forum with his mother for four seasons.

We are grateful to Dr. & Mrs. W. Baxter Perkinson, Jr. for their financial support for this educational program.

Trinity Episcopal School advocates service to one’s community as an important aspect of individual character development and the creation of a strong community. These Trinity students, selected from the School’s Honor Roll, serve as pages for The Richmond Forum this season. Through their service, the students facilitate an exchange of ideas that broadens our understanding of the trends and issues shaping our lives and our community.

Witty, informative, and thought-provoking presentation by a man who knows who he is, where he came from, and what he believes. One of the best forum presentations ever.

Left laughing and hopeful for the future.

Subscriber survey comment

President Bush candidly responded to questions submitted by Forum subscribers about the presidency, his decisions while in office, and his life after leaving the Oval Office.

President Bush has given Steve Martin a run for his money.

I was completely surprised at how funny he was.

JUST YOUR TYPICAL TEENAGER WHO REBELLED

AGAINST CANCER.

T W I C E. It isn’t easy being a teenager. Just ask Mary Huddleston. Only 17, she’s already beaten cancer twice with help from the experts at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU and the VCU Massey Cancer Center. She endured surgery and chemotherapy, and even had to get her hip replaced. But now she’s a top 15 world champion in quarter horse competitions. All because she refused to let cancer get the best of her. For more success stories, go to vcuhealth.org

Steve Martin & Martin Short In a Very Stupid Conversation Appearing with

The Steep Canyon Rangers April 19, 2014 In April, two comedic giants (and great friends) will take their seats on The Richmond Forum stage for a free-wheeling conversation about the evolution of their respective careers. Throw in some video clips, a few props, a banjo, and a Grammy Award-winning bluegrass band and…well, we’re really not sure what’s going to happen.

An actor, comedian, author, playwright, producer, and Grammy Award-winning musician, Steve Martin is one of the most diversified performers in the entertainment industry today. His stand-up comedy routines and motion picture roles have forever been ingrained into our popular culture. Martin Short, is an Emmy and Tony Award-winning comedian and actor who first stepped onto the Saturday Night Live stage almost 30 years ago and has become known for such oddball characters as Ed Grimley and Jiminy Glick.

It’s going to be a “wild and crazy night” at The Richmond Forum!
