Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies

Each day, we take 23,000 breaths, while millions struggle for breath. Respiratory diseases remain the third leading cause of death globally , but this doesn't have to be our common future. Like generations before us who tackled polio and malaria, we have an opportunity to transform the state of respiratory health globally. COPD is largely preventable and, with early diagnosis and proper care, patients are able to manage their symptoms and live fuller lives. The solution starts with better data, leading to targeted national action plans that address both root causes and access to better care. Let's be the generation that turns the tide on respiratory disease, giving a voice back to those who suffer in silence. Let’s be the generation that champions change in the respiratory area, just like past generations did for Polio and Malaria sufferers. It is entirely possible. ??

Foresight vs Insight ?? New article by Lasse Jonasson lnsight is about making sense of what we know - analyzing data, identifying patterns, and deriving meaning from existing information. lt's a powerful tool for understanding where we are today and uncovering potential for improvement based on what we already know. Foresight, on the other hand, is about looking ahead, identifying emerging signals, and preparing for what we don't yet know. lt's a skill of anticipation rather than analysis. Foresight allows us to explore plausible futures and recognize uncertainties, equipping us not to predict one inevitable outcome but to be ready for a range of possibilities.

????????-???????? ???????????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ??????????-???????? ???????????????? ?? ?? Let’s all remember that ?? While you need to consider multiple horizons in your strategy work, foresight (if done right!) helps you achieve a high-quality view of how the future might show up in the form of new assumptions, behaviours, realities, etc. Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies #Foresight #Strategy #FuturesThinking #StrategicForesight

Exploring the Global Water Scarcity Crisis ?? Do you have a tap in your kitchen that you can turn on? Go – and watch the source of life flow down your drain. How about a body of water near you? Visit it – and observe its calm flow and gentle waves. Without water, life on Earth would not exist. It makes up 60% of your body, covers two-thirds of the planet's surface area, and with 70% of all freshwater consumption going to agriculture, it is the main ingredient in your food. Yet, freshwater supplies worldwide are being drained as a result of climate change, water pollution, and ineffective management of water systems. While scarcity may not threaten life itself, it will make our current way-of-life untenable for our future. Read the full exploration of the global water scarcity crisis below. The article was written by Katrine ?sterby ?? and was first published in FARSIGHT, our quarterly futures publication.

UNFOLDING THE CITIES OF TOMORROW ?? Have you ever imagined what the future city would be like, when the way we build, live, and work are under transformation? How will we live together? Will the cities have the same purpose in 40 years? How will our urban areas be governed, and will its citizens take part in it? – and what kind of decisions and transformations areneeded for the necessary change towards regenerative and inclusive cities? Join us in shaping the future of cities and building a more regenerative, resilient, and equitable world ?? https://cifs.dk/evolve In January Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies launched the collaborative initiative EVOLVE, by gathering 50 participants from the public, private and civic sector in Copenhagen for a full-day event to unfold the future purpose of cities through inspiration and exploration. During the day there were talks to inspire and challenge, co-creation and conversation to explore, and imagination to discover A New Urban Purpose to understand what drives the transformation of the cities of tomorrow.? ? This is the beginning of our mission to drive a positive urban transformation by generating ideas, knowledge, prototypes, and strategies that promote equitable, resilient, and liveable cities and inspire you to imagine, work with, and shape the future of our cities. Through this initiative we aim to inspire action and agency to act today to build a better future for ourselves, society, and the planet together. ??

Things are probably going to be very different for your organisation over the next 10 years than they have been for the last decade ?? ? In times of change it will be organisations with futures thinking and foresight orientation that thrive. ? We know this both from our own experience and from research. But foresight as an organisational activity is something that needs time to take root and room to grow. ? More than anything it needs a culture to support and cultivate a foresight mindset and foresight habits. That is why we have developed tailor-made organisational training programs. ? Give your team or organisation the opportunity to work with the future before it becomes a risk in need of mitigation or an opportunity foregone, explore the 'what if' and learn how to apply strategic foresight ?? https://lnkd.in/dRqfeZPZ ? Reach out now and let us tailor our training programmes to your organisational needs. ?
