If the UN Global Goals are the ‘blueprint for a better world’ then Resilience Frontiers is the path beyond better to a world that is truly desirable.
Some of the brightest minds on the planet took a journey into this desirable future this week during a first-of-a-kind collective brainstorming event held in Songdo by the new UNFCCC-led interagency initiative, Resilience Frontiers, which took place on the sidelines of the NAP Expo, part of the Korea Global Adaptation Week 2019.
“This is the start of a collective intelligence process on how best to respond to the deep societal transformations driven by emerging technologies and new sustainability trends, and maximize our resilience to climate change beyond 2030,” said Youssef Nassef, Director, Adaptation Programme, UNFCCC. “It has brought together 100 visionary thinkers and thought leaders for five days of collective thinking and brainstorming inspired by the Futures Literacy Laboratory framework developed by UNESCO.”
