The Politics of Uncertainty: Practical Challenges for Transformative Action
Thinking across diverse domains – from finance, to climate, to migration, to disease, to innovation, to infrastructure, to security – this symposium will explore the diverse ways incertitude is understood and responded to (or not). The aim of the event is to catalyse and develop richer and more nuanced understandings of incertitude and so help enable more robust actions, strategies and governance.
