ÌÇÐÄTV

Professor Elena Korosteleva was invited to give a talk on 'Why we should think 'Resilience' when we talk about Green Transitions?' to the CAPTURED project organised by ÌÇÐÄTV's Policy Lab. Elena focused on understanding the Anthropocene through the lens of a VUCA-world and complexity-thinking, and why we need to understand resilience as a way of living, relating, and managing complex life. Green transitions - whichever ways we think of them - will not happen if we 1) don't have a holistic approach; 2) don't change our thinking & behaviour; and 3) don't facilitate agential change, through nurturing resilience as political agency.

Professor Korosteleva was invited to attend the 2025 Chatham House 'Security and Defence' conference held on 6 March 2025. The conference brought together over 600 global policymakers, senior military and armed forces figures, business leaders and civil society experts.
