NO This document provides a summary of key steps and a rationale for the approach and decisions taken to inform UNEP’s strategic foresight uplift and the activities carried out in support of the 2023-2024 foresight process. It should be considered draft and will be further refined. The general design and the specific tools and methods used for the collection and analysis of foresight data are explained in Section II. This includes the approach for the development and use of scenarios, horizon scanning and the process of developing regional workshops to contextualise and feed reflections and insights on near-term and long-term disruptions to human wellbeing and planetary health. The foresight process has been developed with the International Science Council, and in consultation with an internal UNEP Task Team, independent Foresight Expert Panel1 and the support of several regional partners including the EU Policy Lab at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).
