From crisis to sustainability ​​​​​​-- Building resilience

Fellowship events

 - 

Online via Zoom

Join RSA Fellows globally as we explore how we can shape a more resilient, socially just and sustainable world in the wake of the Covid pandemic. This is the second event in a six-part online event series co-hosted by RSA Oceania and the RSA Sustainability Network, which aims to build awareness and collaboration, leading to RSA projects.

The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the inequities and vulnerabilities in our systems, and tested our collective resilience in unprecedented and unanticipated ways.

As we scramble to contain the humanitarian and economic fallout, it is clear that redesigning our systems to withstand shocks is necessary to mitigate the inevitable impact of future crises, including climate change.

The desire for change has led to renewed support for a more resilient, circular and low-carbon economic model.

In this interactive panel discussion, we explore how circular principles can underpin more resilient and responsive economies, and reduce our environmental impact.

United Kingdom -- 8:00am BST

This event is taking place during a week-long series of Bridges to the Future Conversations, hosted by the RSA and with our communities of changemakers.

At the RSA, we unite people and ideas to resolve the challenges of our time and recognise that crisis can be an opportunity for positive change. As we contend with the Covid-19 crisis, we are bringing people together to unlock ideas and innovation in the areas of society that must thrive, now and in the future.
