Well, I for one, haven’t got a clue and there aren’t many people with a crystal ball efficient enough to answer that question. All we can say with some certainty is that the threats and opportunities facing this small island community in 2015 will be even more marked in 2020.
Economic prosperity, environmental issues, immigration and an ageing population are all likely to feature as heavily in the 2020 edition of this magazine as they do in this edition. Indeed we hope in this way to make a contribution to the debate about how we are to deal with these very

So in this edition of 2020 magazine we explore some of the attempts to diversify the economy, and the prospects for new industries to provide more varied jobs. We also consider how to enhance and protect one of our most valuable assets – our homes.
Both of these subjects have implications for the environment, so we also provide an update on our planning laws and how we are trying to become more environmentally responsible.
This edition also includes our regular review of what to do with our money (and what not to do with it), and because this year is a very special year for Island sportsmen, we also look behind the scenes at the biggest event ever to take place in Jersey, the NatWest Island Games.
Finally, Islanders with interesting jobs give us an insight into what makes their working day challenging and satisfying.
