Rethink Talks Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University

Does practice make perfect? Do countries become more resilient to disasters the more they experience them? Or does their resilience break down when disasters strike again and again?
Today’s guest is Sarah Cumbers, Evidence and Insight Director at the Lloyds Register Foundation. She shares the latest data from the foundation’s World Risk Poll. The poll asked people around the globe about their perceptions on risk and safety with the aim of understanding where strengths lie and what can be improved. Your host is Annette Hertwig.

The seas are getting crowded. As commercial use of the ocean accelerates exponentially and climate change impacts worsen, marine ecosystems and coastal communities are feeling unprecedented pressures. The ocean has been a source of food since the dawn of time, it facilitates our modern communication, transports our merchandise and is often perceived as a lawless, new economic frontier.
This episode's guest, Jean-Baptiste Jouffray, who is a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, expands on the new ocean reality. He proposes that the ocean may not be as lawless as we think and that we need to ramp up investment and stewardship of the vast waters that are giving us so much. Host for this episode is Annette Hertwig.

Food insecurity, climate change and conflict are placing considerable pressure on the global food system. Inequality, access to land, access to nutrient-rich foods, and the loss of local food cultures and diversity are realities further amplified in the new risk landscape. These challenges are also playing out differently depending on the region you inhabit. In other words, the global south and the global north are both feeling the pressure, however, in disparate ways.
This episode's guests Cibele Queiroz and Albert Norström discuss the challenges our global food systems face and explore ways through which we can move towards more resilient, sustainable and just food systems. Albert Norström is a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre and head of knowledge and evidence at the Global Resilience Partnership. Cibele Queiroz is a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre and Global Resilience Partnership. Your host is Annette Hertwig.

What if decision-makers could live through and feel the future consequences of climate change in action today? Would it influence their policy choices? And could gaming or virtual reality simulations help to prioritize action in climate adaptation and resilience building?
Video games have evolved beyond pure entertainment and now have the potential to reach a global community of 3 billion people with climate resilience skills and promote behavioural change.
Today's guests, video game consultant Chance Glasco and Rosemary Mann from the Arsht-Rock Resilience Center, share their experience in creating gaming technologies for world leaders. Your host is Annette Hertwig.

Droughts, storms or sea water rise – climate change takes its form almost always through a change in water. But water is more than just a destructive force, it is the bloodstream of the biosphere.
In this episode Lan Wang Erlandsson, a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, shares with us how freshwater can make or break our ability to successfully combat climate change. She also explains why climate policies must look beyond transitions to renewable energy. Your host is Annette Hertwig.
