Decoding resilience: What every decision maker should know

Decoding Resilience: What every decision maker should know

Date: 24 June 2025

Time: 09:30 – 10:45

This session is part of the Resilience Hub’s full day event: Resilience that Delivers: Turning Science into Action and Impact.

Decision-makers face a new era of risk reduction and assessments. Regardless of the sector, there is an increasingly clear need for effective tools and resources to build better resilience.

This session offers an exclusive preview of the Resilience Science Must-Knows, a groundbreaking synthesis of science-based insights designed to guide real-world decisions. Officially set to launch at COP30 in Brazil, this is a unique chance to engage early with these Must-Knows and shape how they’re applied.

What to expect

This isn’t simply a call for more ambition or a showcase of best practices. Instead, the session will prioritise dynamic discussions between scientific experts and real economy leaders.

It will be further brought to life with participation of the Hot Poets, who will build from the conversations to seed their performance at the end of the session.

Together, we’ll explore:

• How to shift from scattered success stories to cross-sector strategies
• What resilience science tells us about navigating interconnected risks
• Practical ways to apply these insights to diverse sectors, scales, and contexts
