Geo-Economics, Climate Resilience, and AI

The global economy is entering a new, more volatile era shaped by intensified geopolitical competition, the development of disruptive technologies and fundamental transitions in energy and knowledge systems. The interlocking nature of these transformations has placed geoeconomics at the center of long-term decision-making for policymakers, companies, and investors alike.  

In the post-pandemic world, cash-strapped governments with competing spending priorities need to harness private capital to achieve their economic development and growth goals. There has been a profound structural shift that will make the global economy and financial markets of the twenty-first century more volatile and disordered than those of the twentieth century. 

The Milken Institute's Geo-Economics Initiative delivers research and strategic insight to help businesses, governments, and investors make sense of this shifting landscape and act decisively within it.

Pivoting the Paris Agreement to focus more on resilience and adaptation would catalyze positive momentum and deal more effectively with growing despair that we are falling far short of the mark. This is decidedly not about abandoning the goal of keeping global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius. It’s all about finding the money to meet the Paris goals in a newly adaptive way.
