The climate crisis, the pandemic, regional conflicts and the ensuing refugee crisis, are reminders of the unprecedented capacity of external shocks to disrupt economies and societies. These shocks – whether environmental, economic, geopolitical, or health-related – are only increasing in frequency and severity, making strengthening resilience an imperative to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth in the future.
The Resilience Consortium brings together ministers, chief executives and heads of international organizations to increase the resilience of the global economy. It provides a unique opportunity to business and public sector leaders to participate in a global effort to develop a deeper and more integrated perspective on resilience management.
The Consortium aims to form the basis for all participating institutions to understand how to better anticipate, prepare and react to future disruptions through four main objectives.
Develop a standardized resilience framework for public and private sectors to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth. This foundation strengthens institutional capabilities and builds the basis needed to address future challenges.
Promote best practices and leadership within the public and private sectors to drive change. Embrace risk and resilience to transition from short-term, reactive responses to long-term value creation.
Advance a shared understanding of resilience drivers through a prioritized agenda. Align public- and private-sector efforts while supporting current initiatives within the broader resilience framework.
Foster public-private partnerships to create resilient societies and economies. Prioritize investments and scale solutions that mitigate risks and drive sustainable, inclusive growth.
The Resilience Consortium impacts global resilience by promoting collaborative approaches to crisis management, enabling a common framework and best practices, while fostering knowledge sharing and public-private partnerships.
Building on a novel global survey of 250+ executives, the white paper aims to assess where companies currently stand in their resilience journeys, explores the foundations of resilient leadership and underscores the importance of public-private collaboration in advancing resilience by highlighting 4 key areas for collaboration.
