🌍 Investing in Resilient Futures | Youth Foresight Sprint 2025 "What if a warning we ignored now became a global crisis in 2050?" Yesterday was International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) 2025 – and UNU-CPR and United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) are happy to present the results of the second Youth Foresight Sprint. Over the course of one month, students and researchers from universities around the world designed risk scenarios by 2050, exploring risks ranging from climate shocks in the Coral Triangle, to earthquakes in Mexico City, to informal settlements in South Africa. Drawing from the Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction 2025, they designed resilience roadmaps for decision-makers to shape our collective resilience in decades to come. 🔗 Explore the full outcomes and scenarios here: https://lnkd.in/eM26HFZS Participating institutions included: Texas Tech University (US), UK Health Security Agency, The University of Huddersfield, National University of Mexico, Columbia University, North-West University / Noordwes-Universiteit (South Africa), Azerbaijan State University of Economics • UNEC, University of Leeds, Universidad de Chile, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), and Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. #DisasterRiskReduction #Resilience #YouthEngagement #UNDRR #IDDRR2025 Rhea Katsanakis Jenty Kirsch-Wood Marcus Altengård
