A collaborative project led by the University of Waterloo that co-created futures thinking tools in collaboration with institutions across Southern Africa in countries impacted by rapidly intensifying cyclones (Mozambique, Madagascar, South Africa, and Zimbabwe). To realize the goal of integrating regenerative futures thinking within planning for cyclone adaptation, this project had the following objectives:
- O1: Developed a multi-sector partnership focused on sustainable urban development under the strain of climate hazards in Southern Africa.
- O2: Identified the role of futures thinking as a strategic means of incorporating long-term sustainable development targets into short-term cyclone adaptation approaches.
- O3: Evaluated the application of Artificial Intelligence in strategizing cyclone response and sustainable development in Southern African cities.
- O4: Mobilized policy tools for strategizing cyclone response and recovery via Generative Artificial Intelligence applications premised on futures thinking.
