How do you anticipate something that has never occurred? How do you move ahead when the long term is deeply uncertain? In this session, Joshua Polchar, a strategic foresight expert from the OECD, will present a multidisciplinary and research-informed approach to help organisations anticipate emerging critical risks. It uses horizon scanning and other foresight techniques to explore unprecedented risks and how they emerge.

The approach emphasises understanding risks in context to encourage proactive adaptation and strengthen capacity to navigate the complex, uncertain global risk landscape.
