Watch Sign interpretation (International)
The world is increasingly being shaken by shocks and crises, from war to climate change and natural disasters. To face these challenges, economies need to persevere and recover by drawing on resilient human capital. Beyond bricks and mortar, an effective crisis response requires the skills, ingenuity and talent of a country in all its diversity, to provide effective short- and long-term solutions.
How can businesses enhance the resilience and diversity of their workforce to respond to these challenges? What role can investors play in helping to protect livelihoods and (re)integrating those most affected by crises into the economy?
What can policymakers and international partners such as the EBRD do to strengthen human capital in times of crisis? Can human capital ever be future-proof?
Bringing together experts from different sectors and municipal and national policymakers and practitioners, this panel explores these themes and underscores the imperative of close cooperation to deliver impact together.
