4CF The Futures Literacy Company facilitated the Resilience Frontiers second brainstorming meeting in Gaborone, Botswana as a part of the Botswana Global Adaptation Week 2022. 

The Botswana Global Adaptation Week is one of the major adaptation events of the year which aims to showcase and promote actions and practices to adapt to the impacts of climate change. It offers a platform to raise adaptation ambition by accelerating the formulation and implementation of countries’ National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) as well as foresight thinking for resilience.

During the Resilience Frontiers brainstorming meeting, a diverse range of thought leaders and organizations have unpacked the eight Resilience Frontiers pathways towards a better world and discussed the visions and values underpinning them and identified first-mover actions that will accelerate the journey. The RF eight pathways are:

1. Transforming humanity’s relationship with nature
2. Lifelong learning for environmental stewardship
3. Ensuring universal equitable coverage of, and open-access to (big) data and information
4. Managing water and other natural resources equitably and inclusively
5. Managing transboundary issues equitably
6. Applying a holistic, ecosystem-centered approach to optimize future health and well-being
7. Regenerative food production
8. Developing transformative financial instruments

At the meeting we were honored by the visit of The President of Botswana Mokgweetsi Masisi and Philda Nani Kereng, Minister of Environment, Natural Resources Conservation and Tourism.
