Virtual Resilience Lab Part II – Retooling cooperation to effectively respond to future climate risks

Resilience Frontiers is a foresight-driven initiative and aims at harnessing the potential of paradigm-shifting frontier technologies and emerging social trends towards long-term global resilience. The initiative responds to the deep societal transformations and maximizes our collective resilience to complex challenges including climate change beyond 2030.  

Resilience Frontiers is convening the Virtual Resilience Lab series between July and September 2020, as a continuation of its effort to engage global thought leaders. The outputs from this series will feed into the road mapping phase of the initiative. 

Part I of the Virtual Resilience Lab series took place on 29-30 July, where thought leaders from all over the world discussed positive values and opportunities to foster lifelong learning to ensure environmental stewardship. 

Following the successful launch of part I, we are excited to announce part II of the series, which will take place on 2-3 September and focus on ‘Retooling global cooperation to effectively respond to future climate risks’. This two-day event will cover the following topics, which correspond to three pathways (among eight) of the Resilience Frontiers:

• Pathway 3: Ensuring universal equitable coverage of and open access to, big data and information, and related benefits to human well-being
• Pathway 4: Managing water and other natural resources in an equitable and participatory way
• Pathway 5: Managing transboundary considerations equitably

This is an opportunity us to collectively and continuously explore ways to rectify the human-nature interface and pave the way to a resilient future for all.  

We would like to invite you to: 

1. Register for part II of the Virtual Resilience Lab series; 
2. Participate in part II live event on September 2-3 and share your views; and  
3. Become an active contributor to the Resilience Frontiers discussions.
