The flip side of this upcoming week is my feed is going to be flooded with text along the lines of “excellent discussion with x,y,z about a,b,c”. And it’s going to be accompanied with pictures of people sitting in rooms, with not much more context.

UNGA always gives crucial signals in a condensed time for what the future of multilateralism might be. We'll be analyzing these signals for the UN Futures Lab support to anticipatory governance & foresight. In the meantime. A few good places to get insights and analysis of UNG80 are in this thread 🧵

We're increasingly using data on donor funding trends & combining it with strategic foresight to understand what the state of multilateralism could plausibly be in the coming years. This analysis from @the-peio.bsky.social on government donor funding is very interesting: bit.ly/4mkkUqB

Huge fan (and subscriber) of this podcast. The curtain riser is a must-listen, esp like the point about the little talked about meetings that are so incredibly important 👇

One of the things I've always admired about #UNDP is its ability to not only anticipate what may happen but to turn insights into real programming and decision making. And I guess the results really do speak for themselves.

With ample foresight, legal frameworks and regulation can be meaningful and effective in bridging tech and innovation development whilst maintaining the centrality of #HumanRights. Interested to see how the Council of Europe continues to engage in this space

In Africa, 70% of buildings that will exist in 2040 are still not built. As Africa rapidly urbanizes, sustainable building practices are critical. @unep.org looks at how schools in Burkina Faso are using local materials to keep classrooms cool & support #ClimateAction: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...
