High Level Threat Panel

High Level Threat Panel

The High Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change of the United Nations, chaired by former Thai Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun and including former United States National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft and several former heads of government and foreign ministers as members, produced in December 2004 what may be the single best intelligence estimate with respect to the future of mankind and its habitat. They identified Ten Key Threats. The two references below detail the panel's mission and composition, and provide access to the final report in multiple forms.
