The UNFCCC-led Resilience Frontiers initiative is co-creating an Earth-positive future that younger generations can finally get excited about. Out are the problem-solution mindsets shaping today’s world – in, a unique lens through which to see climate-resilient futures beyond 2030 – and pathways of action that lead us there.
This is the future at its most powerful, awe-inspiring best, a place people can turn to as a source of inspiration.
And in Songdo, South Korea, this week some of the brightest minds on the planet gathered to begin opening the world’s eyes to this future, when they took part in a first-of-a-kind collective brainstorming event.
“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.”
OnePoint5Media, producers of Innovators Magazine, was in Songdo, as an invested actor in the initiative, and co-created a special event brochure with Resilience Frontiers to mark the milestone moment.
