2013 Follow-up on a Worldwide Risk and Resilience Study

This follow-up on a 2012 study contemplates shocks, such as market crashes and natural disasters, and how to address them. Resilience is defined as the capacity to recover and then adapt. Taking a closer look at three “cases” — titled “The Seeds of Dystopia,” “How Safe Are Our Safeguards?” and “The Dark Side of Connectivity” — the study lays out best practices, along with other practices that it says “are currently being tried and, though unproven, seem promising.”
