For the first time, COP 25 featured a Resilience Frontiers Pavilion, a focal point for future thinking approaches to creating a desirable world. Discussions and events held within the Resilience Lab challenged participants to re-examine their assumptions and transcend the boundaries of mainstream thought on adaptation and resilience building. Speakers and attendees were asked to look beyond 2030 and introduce ideas or solutions that can scale up and transform adaptation efforts, or deploy disruptive frontier technologies in the service of maximising long-term resilience.
