Now more than ever, UNESCO is striving to convince the public and key decision-makers of the importance of foresight in the creation and implementation of policy. This is done with the realization that UNESCO’s mission is most effective when the organization functions as a guide for the world of tomorrow. In that capacity, UNESCO's primary function is to be a laboratory of ideas. It must “play a key role in anticipating and defining, in the light of the ethical principles that it champions, the most important emerging problems in its spheres of competence, and in identifying appropriate strategies and policies to deal with them” (UNESCO Medium-term Strategy, 2002-2007). The UNESCO World Report endeavours to outline authoritative visions for the future that might serve as policy tools for global, regional and national advocacy.
