Critical systemic risks — from geopolitical tensions and humanitarian crises to unregulated technology and climate breakdown — are growing more severe, abrupt, and complex, impacting both natural and human systems. Institutions and frameworks are straining to address these interlinked risks, revealing a growing misalignment between existing capabilities and current realities.
In this context, the Accelerator for Systemic Risk Assessment (ASRA) will host the first global symposium dedicated to action on systemic risk. This event will bring together 250 global experts from diverse sectors to explore the interconnections driving this polycrisis, discuss what is working and not working in risk assessment and response, and propose pathways toward more resilient futures for all living beings.
