Leading thinkers in science, economics, industry, government and other fields already know that the future is not predictable in detail or with certainty. This project was about improving Australia’s ability to anticipate and prepare for major social, economic and environmental change in the next 10-100 years, especially the type of change that creeps up on decision makers and can catch them, and the rest of society, unprepared.
The Building Australia’s Resilience program assembled some of Australia’s leading thinkers to give their perspectives on the extent and direction of resilience across our nation’s social, economic and ecological systems in an era that promises major economic, social, technological and environmental change.
