The age of permacrisis: how can governments keep up?

About this event
Governments are up against a myriad of compounding risks that have a deep impact on their communities. They’re facing climate-driven shocks, geopolitical instability, supply chain disruptions, and infrastructure vulnerabilities that are shifting operating conditions for governments around the world. Yet for all the scientific urgency around climate and resilience, many institutions responsible for ensuring national security, energy security, food security, safe homes and healthy populations often remain insufficiently equipped or prepared to act. Join us for a lively ‘pitching session’ to hear from experts about the single most important thing governments need to do to build resilience in this era of converging crises. From capacity building to public-private cooperation, from leveraging finance to leveraging tech, how can governments adapt to thrive, not just survive, and move away from constant crisis-response mode into systemic resilience and strategic adaptation? This session is being hosted in partnership with Apolitical. Part of The Hub Live's stream: Leadership and Green Growth
