While the summary calls for long‑term solutions, it does not articulate concrete scenarios or foresight tools; however, the identification of systemic failure does open a space for future‑oriented policy design.

Integrating long‑term modelling, cross‑cultural learning, and marginalized voices creates a resilient security architecture that moves beyond reactive fixes toward sustainable, inclusive governance.
