by Sir Peter Gluckman, Director of Koi Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures, University of Auckland
Virtual public lecture on 23 March 2021, 7pm CET via Zoom or YouTube live stream
The COVID-19 global pandemic exposed many societal vulnerabilities and highlighted the compound and cascading nature of existing and emerging global risks. Governments have faced a host of extreme events, including earthquakes, flooding, and social unrest alongside COVID-19, straining the agencies that deal with such crises.
IIASA Distinguished Visiting Fellow Sir Peter Gluckman will speak at a virtual public lecture offered by IIASA and the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Drawing on lessons learned from the pandemic and findings from the IIASA-ISC Consultative Science Platform, he will suggest pathways forwards that can enable the transformative changes needed for a safe and healthy planet.
