Geo-Economics, Climate Resilience, and AI

The race to decarbonize the global economy depends on the success of efforts to unlock and mobilize trillions of dollars to finance climate mitigation and adaptation, especially for the countries and populations most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This initiative is partnering with stakeholders at the local, national, and global levels to build innovative mechanisms to accelerate public, private, and philanthropic climate investment at scale.

In an era of increasing geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and evolving labor and environmental standards, businesses and policy leaders are without clear guidance on how to create long-term supply chain resilience in a way that minimizes the impact of these disruptions. The Geo-Economics Initiative creates solutions to this complex global issue by providing a new supply chain resilience framework to help business leaders, policymakers, and other stakeholders navigate the rapidly evolving intersection between international trade, local economic needs, and national and global regulatory landscapes.

Emerging technology promises enormous disruptions and opportunities for government leaders, NGOs, companies, and the public overall. The potential for technology to unlock societal advancement provides hope for its uses, while its ability to further inequality and polarization creates fear. Many business leaders and stakeholders feel stuck when trying to navigate this tension and struggle to make strategic, long-term decisions around technology. The Milken Institute provides strategic guidance on navigating technology disruptions through thought leadership, convening stakeholders, and bolstering resilient solutions that foster innovations in technology.
