UNSSC presented our VR experience «A Story of Transformational Change of Sustainable Development» in COP27
COP27 is the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that was held in Egypt from 6 to 18 November 2022. It sought renewed solidarity between countries to deliver on the landmark Paris Agreement, for people and the planet. COP27 was built on the outcomes of COP26 to deliver action on an array of issues critical to tackling the climate emergency – from urgently reducing greenhouse gas emissions, building resilience, and adapting to the inevitable impacts of climate change, to delivering on the commitments to finance climate action in developing countries. Heads of State, ministers, and negotiators, along with climate activists, mayors, civil society representatives and CEOs were meeting in the Egyptian coastal city of Sharm el-Sheikh for the largest annual gathering on climate action.
Resilience Frontiers is a first-of-its-kind UN ecosystem that moves the world’s collective thinking beyond the dystopian paradigms created by today’s challenges and into a future that is desirable. Resilience Frontiers reimagines our world beyond its current horizons, where in harmony with nature and each other, we harness the power of frontier technologies to enrich, rather than deplete, our environment and overall wellbeing.
The Resilience Frontiers pavilion at COP 27 was in AREA C, Pavilion 54. Between the different planned events, participants were able to had a Virtual Reality Tour with the immersive experience “A Story of Transformational Change of Sustainable Development”.
“A Story of Transformational Change for Sustainable Development” is an interactive 360-degree immersive learning experience on a city undergoing transformative changes towards a more sustainable future. This immersive experience was developed by Immersium Studio in co-creation with UNSSC, and was especially designed to train political and technical United Nations member countries leaders. The experience consists of a visit to a city that has undergone an ecological transition in recent years. It is a city traditionally dependent on extractive coal mining activity, with all the social, political and economic implications that this entails. Public institutions have made great efforts to reformulate the city’s economic model and transform it into a city with a green, circular economy that respects sustainability three dimensions (economic, environmental and social).
In this video and this post you have more information about the VR experience “A Story of Transformational Change of Sustainable Development”.
We are very happy that our immersive experience can raise awareness people that a change towards a more sustainable world is important for our future and the future of the planet.
