It is a collaboration that is important since very little has been done in this area, and so much remains to be done.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paper introduces Foresight as a structured approach that is increasingly employed across industries and disciplines for anticipating future change and proposes its utility for the heritage sector. We illustrate how integrating greater Foresight into heritage practice can encourage proactive engagement with emerging trends; develop resilient strategies for heritage research, planning and management; and locate where heritage-based actions can bring transformative change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morel H,&nbsp;Wollentz G,&nbsp;Forgesson S,&nbsp;Iwasaki A,&nbsp;Heritage A (2025;), &#8220;Foresight in heritage: fostering future consciousness to proactively face change&#8221;.&nbsp;<em>Journal of Cultural Heritage Management and Sustainable Development<\/em>, Vol. ahead-of-print No. ahead-of-print.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1108\/JCHMSD-12-2024-0298\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1108\/JCHMSD-12-2024-0298<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"948\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/blogg.lnu.se\/unesco\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/209\/files\/sites\/209\/2023\/09\/Gustav-Wollentz.png\" alt=\"Gustav Wollentz\" class=\"wp-image-3247\" style=\"width:438px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogg.lnu.se\/unesco\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/209\/files\/sites\/209\/2023\/09\/Gustav-Wollentz.png 948w, https:\/\/blogg.lnu.se\/unesco\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/209\/files\/sites\/209\/2023\/09\/Gustav-Wollentz-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/blogg.lnu.se\/unesco\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/209\/files\/sites\/209\/2023\/09\/Gustav-Wollentz-768x373.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 948px) 100vw, 948px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gustav Wollentz, UNESCO Chair on Heritage Futures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new publication focusing on the value of Foresight in heritage was just&nbsp;published with Gustav Wollentz from the UNESCO Chair on Heritage Futures as a co-author. &nbsp;The article is named &#8220;Foresight in heritage: fostering future consciousness to proactively face change\u201d, by Hana Morel, myself, Sarah Forgesson, Amy Iwasaki and Alison Heritage.&nbsp;
