It is part of UN DESA's continued support to national and local government institutions in institutionalizing strategic foresight and AI-informed approaches in governance, policymaking, and public administration.

The follow-up workshop is built in response to the growing need to translate foresight and AI concepts into practical governance applications that enhance institutional preparedness, resilience, innovation, and responsiveness amid rapid technological, social, economic, and environmental transformation.
