Why it matters
Integrating strategic foresight into training programmes is critical for equipping UN personnel with the skills needed to navigate uncertainty and drive impactful solutions in peacebuilding and development. By developing tailored training modules and providing expert guidance, the UN Futures Lab/Global Hub helps build long-term capability across the UN system. These efforts ensure that participants not only understand foresight concepts but also apply them effectively to real-world challenges. Embedding foresight into structured learning pathways creates a strong foundation for fostering anticipatory thinking, enhancing decision-making, and enabling a future-ready workforce to address evolving global complexities.
