This report focuses on risks concerning human health, the environment and technology—all key areas in which the impacts of such risks are likely to be most severe.

Its objective is to assist countries in developing transformative capacities to achieve greater resilience in facing these risks.

The concept of transformative capacity – which is the focus of this report – captures the mechanisms that enable countries to function effectively in the face of shocks and secure key well-being outcomes.

This edition of the Future of Knowledge Foresight Report series comes at a time of considerable global uncertainty. It therefore seeks to inform ongoing discussions regarding the means for countries to scale up their resilience, develop recovery plans, and shift toward more sustainable and inclusive development pathways.
