How should we manage inter-systemic risk? Lessons from COVID-19 and climate change | Festival Shorts



Published
We must become more effective at responding to major risks, like climate change and the control of zoonotic diseases, whose consequences will be felt across all areas of society. Although the world is broadly agreed that these types of problems require regulatory interventions, the uncertainty around their outcomes means how and when they should be regulated is constantly debated. Professor Veerle Heyvaert argues that for such significant risks in fact we can be certain that greater investment in early-stage interventions would prevent a cascade of new significant risks that have to then be tackled one by one.

As part of this year’s LSE Festival, our short films series showcases research exploring the challenges we face across the world and the practical steps we can take to tackle them.
