Too often, politicians and the rest of us choose to wait for clarity before tackling tough, consequential, challenges. News media cover disastrous events far better than underlying drivers of risk - or resilience.
To seek solutions, watch or listen to this Sustain What brainstorm with participants in the 2020 conference of the Society for Decision Making Under Deep Uncertainty – a community focused on making the most out of inconveniently murky reality.
We examined how to assess and communicate effective policies and practices in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, today’s turbulent political landscape, development economics and climate change.
The discussion features David G. Groves of the Rand Corporation; Alejandro Poiré, dean of the School of Government and Public Transformation at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico City and a former secretary of governance in the administration of former Mexican President Felipe Calderón; Julie Rozenberg, an economist with the World Bank Sustainable Development Group.
Your Sustain What host is Andy Revkin, a journalist with 35 years on the climate and calamity beat.
