Force for Good maps out $750 trillion abundance economy by 2060

Force for Good says proven technologies, emerging innovations and better governance could help drive a global economy worth $750 trillion by 2060. The report also argues that $125 trillion in targeted investment could accelerate SDG progress and unlock broad-based growth.

Why it matters: - Force for Good says the world already has enough capital, technology, solutions and talent to tackle deprivation, but those assets are not reaching development needs. - The report frames its findings as a guide for the incoming UN Secretary-General and a coming era of abundance. - The model points to a possible global GDP of $750 trillion by 2060 if emerging technologies are deployed and governed for broad access.

What happened: - Force for Good published its 2026 report, Strategies for an Era of Abundance: Preparing for Civilisational Transition. - The report was released as the United Nations prepares to appoint a new Secretary-General. - The full report is available as the full report. - The report says progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals has stalled despite record global capital.

The details: - The report cites 2025 UN progress data showing 35% of SDG targets with sufficient data are on track or making moderate progress. - It says 18% of those targets have regressed below their 2015 baseline. - It says none of the 17 SDGs is on course to be met by 2030. - Global liquid financial assets are estimated at about $505 trillion in 2025. - Force for Good argues the problem is not a shortage of capital, but a lack of investable structures connecting capital to need. - Wave One centers on nine commercially ready technologies, including renewables, digital connectivity, financial inclusion, affordable housing and climate resilience. - The report estimates Wave One would require about $125 trillion of investment to 2035. - It projects that Wave One would generate about $315 trillion in cumulative GDP uplift by 2035. - It also projects a profit pool of about $43 trillion for the owners of those solutions. - Wave Two focuses on six systemic technologies: artificial intelligence, quantum computing, gene editing, fusion energy, nanotechnology and extended reality. - In a baseline scenario, the report models global GDP reaching about $475 trillion by 2060. - In a broad-access, well-governed scenario, the report models global GDP reaching about $750 trillion by 2060. - Wave Three describes a longer-term convergence phase in which fusion could address energy constraints, nanotechnology materials constraints and artificial intelligence cognitive constraints.

Between the lines: - The report argues that governance will determine whether technological gains are shared broadly or concentrated narrowly. - It says these technologies are advancing without a multilateral treaty or enforcement mechanisms. - The message is as much about political coordination as it is about investment. - Force for Good proposes a “Third Axis” coalition to anchor that coordination. - The proposed coalition starts with the European Union and India, then expands to the Gulf Cooperation Council and later to Japan, Canada, South Korea, Singapore and Australia. - The report says the EU contributes science, standards and legal frameworks, while India brings a population of 1.4 billion and a large STEM talent pipeline. - The timing of the proposal follows the EU-India Free Trade Agreement in January, the UK-GCC Free Trade Agreement in May and the European Commission’s September proposal for Canada to become the EU’s first associate member.

What's next: - Force for Good wants its framework to inform global decision-making as the UN selects its next Secretary-General. - The report’s investment and governance model extends beyond 2030. - The coalition idea could shape future trade, standards and technology-policy alignment if governments adopt it.

The bottom line: - Force for Good is arguing that the world’s binding constraint is not scarcity, but governance. If institutions can connect capital and technology to need, the report says, abundance could become a measurable economic outcome rather than a theory.
