"The stress nexus is going to be with us for decades to come, as will be the search for resilience. This search will require closer cooperation between companies, cities and non-governmental organizations than ever before in modern corporate history." -- Peter Voser, former Shell CEO

ŸCorporations’ views on resilience found in this book will help us find new solutions to global challenges.Œ-- Julia Marton-Lefèvre, Director General IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature)

Turbulence

A Corporate Perspective on Collaborating for Resilience

De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
The ever tighter coupling of our food, water and energy systems, in the context of a changing climate is leading to increasing turbulence in the world. As a consequence, it becomes ever more crucial to develop cities, regions, and economies with resilience in mind. Because of their global reach, substantial resources, and information-driven leadership structures, multinational corporations can play a major, constructive role in improving our understanding and design of resilient systems.

This volume is the product of the Resilience Action Initiative, a collaboration among Dow, DuPont, IBM, McKinsey & Co., Shell, Siemens, Swiss Re, Unilever, and Yara designed to explore possible corporate contributions to global resilience, especially at the nexus of water, food and energy. Aggressively forward-thinking, and consistent with an enlightened self-interest, the ideas considered here represent a corporate perspective on the broad collaborations required for a more resilient world.
