Reimagining Collaboration in XR Lessons from the Global Collaboration Village 2025

Arctic Basecamp Pavilion Climate risk awarenessThe challenge The accelerating thaw in the Arctic is a global warning system – yet its urgency is often lost on decision-makers far from polar regions. Arctic Basecamp needed a compelling way to bring climate science into high-stakes conversations and make the consequences of inaction tangible. The Village’s role Arctic Basecamp partnered with the Village to create an immersive environment that placed leaders in the heart of the Arctic – enabling them to experience key tipping points and visualize real-time scientific data. The experience deepened emotional and intellectual engagement with the risks posed by Arctic melt and global feedback loops. Participants Participants at the Annual Meeting 2024 used the Pavilion to visualize future scenarios and bring scientific data into strategic dialogue. Key moment During the Davos 2024 experience, participants virtually stood on Arctic ice, witnessing melt patterns, sea-level rise projections, and downstream effects on global systems—all within a trusted, data-driven environment. The Village gave us a new way to place Arctic risk at the centre of the room – no charts required.” Post-experience feedback from a participant2024USE CASE 4 20 Copyright: © Global Collaboration Village: World Economic Forum, Accenture and Microsoft.
