What does a nature-centric response to risk look like? The Biomimicry Institute shows how nature-inspired solutions can help address systemic risks, from climate change to biodiversity loss. www.asranetwork.org/srr-series/t... #WorldEnvironmentDay

There’s still time to read our paper “The urgency of building systemic risk capacity in a polycrisis world” before open access ends on 6 June. The paper argues for a major reconfiguration across sectors to build systemic risk capacity to address the polycrisis. authors.elsevier.com/a/1myLn9C%7E...

Today’s polycrisis results from a failure to mitigate systemic risk. Could a new set of principles help us better navigate this moment? Find out in the May edition of our newsletter ‘Radically Rethinking Risk’, out tomorrow. Sign up: mailchi.mp/4e32e64a25e7...

The world must decarbonize energy to tackle the climate crisis. But the energy transition comes with its own challenges, being deeply entangled with social and political systems. Watch from 14:35 to hear the systems map explained: youtu.be/tra78c8rCp4?... Thanks @e-axesforum.bsky.social.

Nature is often reduced to a metric or static point in a database. But what if it could be more than that? Explore ways to expand perception of systemic risk beyond human eyes: www.asranetwork.org/news/let-the... #BiodiversityDay

Principles can help societies and organizations navigate the polycrisis and ensure a safe future. Our new paper in Global Sustainability, @universitypress.cambridge.org, proposes 10 principles for systemic risk governance. 👉 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

It’s impossible to properly understand or address the systemic risks of our time without listening to, or learning from, nature. It was a pleasure to attend the brilliant MOTH Festival of Ideas to explore ways to understand and protect animals, forests, and oceans. 🐳 🦅🌳 #morethanhuman

New research points to a blind spot in the UK’s risk architecture that prevents it from preparing for AMOC collapse. Article by @thierryaaron.bsky.social & Ajay Gambir for National Preparedness Commission: nationalpreparednesscommission.uk/publications...

Two Nordic nations have made preparing for future risks part of people’s everyday life. It’s an act of honest hope and clear-eyed realism. In Sweden and Finland, everyone has a role in building societal resilience and preparedness. Find out more: www.asranetwork.org/srr-series/n...

The MOTH Festival of Ideas kicks off this week on the rights of nature. Looking forward to conversations on how we de-centre the human & recognise nonhumans as actors with agency. If you’re going, say hi to ASRA’s @adjuvant.bsky.social & @heathernicholson.bsky.social

🚨New article My first for nationalpreparednesscommission.uk, co-authored with Ajay Gambhir, @asranetwork.org, on what the latest #AMOC research means for UK national security. The UK's risk machinery still isn't pointed at the problem🧵 nationalpreparednesscommission.uk/publications...

ASRA is in its cocoon phase, dissolving our current form to metamorphosis into something else. We’re openly sharing what that looks and feels like. Read the second blog in our series ‘Inside the Chrysalis’, written by Ruth Richardson, our Executive Director: www.asranetwork.org/news/what-of...

Join us at the E-axes Forum webinar: “Polycrisis, Energy, and Climate Change”. The event will explore how systemic risks emerge from complex interdependencies and non-linear dynamics, challenging established governance and regulatory frameworks. May 11, 2026 🗓️

“The vast majority of us weren’t brought up in a systems thinking manner.” In a short interview for StoryMoss Magazine, Sarah Hendel-Blackford discusses her work with the next generation, helping them to understand, prevent, and respond to systemic risk. youtu.be/ivyAZXVu-7E?...

We are dangerously exposed to interconnected crises. Yet decision-making in policy and boardrooms still approaches global risks in silos and from a human-only perspective. The April edition of Radically Rethinking Risk lands tomorrow. Sign up:

Can you imagine what risk feels like for a jaguar, a fungus, or a beetle?🪲🍄‍🟫#EarthDay The frameworks we use to assess & respond to risk are strikingly narrow. We begin and end with one species: humans. We challenge human-centred approaches to risk in a new blog: www.asranetwork.org/news/let-the...

Next week, our Director of Systemic Risk Policy and Response, Sarah Hendel-Blackford, will speak on ‘Systemic risk exposed: from adaptation to transformation’ at the World Adaptation Forum. 🗓️ 23–24 April 📍 Join in Budapest or online Register here:

New ASRA paper in One Earth: The urgency of building systemic risk capacity in a polycrisis world. The paper led by Ajay Gambhir shows that the world is ill-equipped to deal with rapidly unfolding, interconnected crises that stem from systemic risk. kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

Do animals have and express a collective desire for the future? Phil Tovey, Director of Nature-Centric Approaches, will explore the capacity for vision phenomena in nonhumans at the ISAE UK & Ireland regional meeting. * 21 April www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/isae-uk-ir...

Crises often don’t happen in isolation. They cascade. The Zimbabwe Friendship Bench shows how to respond to cascading crises in practice. By training “grandmothers” to deliver therapy, it improved HIV outcomes, boosted incomes, and strengthened communities. www.asranetwork.org/srr-series/z...

For #WorldHealthDay, we’re asking how systemic risks threaten global health security, and what we can do about it. Three of our members explore the systemic risks threatening global health security, from pandemics and antimicrobial resistance to inequitable access to care.

What can history teach us about patterns of inequality that lead to crisis? In The Rethink, SoDy traces recurring patterns of inequality, from ancient empires to today, and draws lessons from societies that pursued reforms to reverse it. Read it here:

Could reconnecting with nature help tackle systemic risks to our planet? 🌿🌎 Professor Tom Oliver argues this shift in worldview could 'cascade up' to transform legal, education, and economic systems so they protect nature rather than drive ecocide. Read more: www.asranetwork.org/news/the-ret...

Every system has critical points of intervention where targeted actions become far more effective. Wales identified one through their Well-being of Future Generations Act. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The Act is already reshaping how the country makes decisions and governs. www.asranetwork.org/srr-series/w...

Rivers are in crisis worldwide. To understand what’s wrong, we almost always centre a human point of view. What might we be missing? #WorldWaterDay 22 people. 5 species. 1 river. 'Risks Beyond Human Eyes' explores this question for the River Tone in the UK. www.asranetwork.org/insights/ris...

In a new commentary in @thelancetplanet.bsky.social, ASRA Network member Emmanuel Raju and Ricardo Fuentealba call for greater attention to disaster risk creation and labour in #FoodSystems. “A focus on risk creation also reframes responsibility”. Read more: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What if preventing catastrophic biological threats requires not just better science, but better collaboration across borders and communities? In Cross Currents, Lalitha Sundaram, Shama Karkal, and Henry Willis explore the systemic risks facing global health security.

AI is not only transforming how economies grow; it is changing how states fund themselves. Dr. Chris Cormack argues that while economic value is shifting away from employment to capital & intangible assets, tax systems remain anchored to taxing labour.

Cross Currents is an ASRA network member-led conversation series with a simple aim: create space for nuanced, cross-disciplinary conversations that deepen understanding of the interconnected risks driving today’s polycrisis. Watch the series on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Beyond the promise of AI’s productivity, another story is unfolding: fiscal fragility & geopolitical risk. Chris Cormack argues early AI policy choices will shape whether the technology drives durable prosperity or systemic instability. Read The Rethink: www.asranetwork.org/news/the-ret...
