III European Summer School of Social Innovation Organized by: Sinnergiak Social Innovation Centre www.sinnergiak.org

Uncertainty and complexity define our today and tomorrow. Systems and organisations need a real understanding of the potential futures in order to make the most fit for purpose choices today. School of International Futures recently worked with GOS to showcase how different governments use foresight and futures techniques. This includes a framework that sets out the key features of effective cross-government foresight work and how organisations and systems can build a resilient approach to incorporating. We will present the framework, give chance for questions and then support you to consider implications in your own system https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/london-policy-amp-strategy-network-31019071129

Catherine Howe discusses the need for complex solutions to address climate change and engaging communities in sustainable behavior change. She proposes developing a Renewable Infrastructure Framework (RIF) that would provide a baseline of renewable energy potential, estimate investment opportunities, and practical steps for infrastructure delivery through a collaborative network. The goal of the RIF is to establish a common evidence base, unlock investment, and create a structure to advance this complex, long-term work through building trust and involving diverse stakeholders over time.

With COP26 looming ever closer, the project management profession needs to accelerate developing our knowledge and skills to align our operations with our ambitions.

This document is meant to spark conversations and stimulate thinking around the mission-oriented framework, including the fundamentals about "mission": evolution, concept and some lessons. This deck also serves the purpose of systematising questions from Camden Council, step-by-step implementation recommendations and case studies.

The document provides an introduction to UNDP's Innovation Facility, which was launched in 2014 to manage the Global Innovation Fund and foster innovation through a global team located in headquarters and regional hubs. The Facility aims to embrace complexity, technology, and new approaches to better serve end users. It provides programmatic guidance and partnerships to support innovative projects, such as turning e-waste into profit in China, generating ideas to address gender-based violence in Egypt, increasing tuberculosis treatment compliance in Moldova, supporting youth entrepreneurship in Haiti, and integrating foresight planning in Rwanda.
