Panel Abstract:
Canada and the world are facing a polycrisis – the convergence of many increasingly interconnected wicked problems, that put into question Canada’s ability to sustain its economic, social, security and environmental wellbeing. Emerging and disruptive technologies, social polarization, climate change, bio-diversity loss, pandemics, mass migrations, geopolitical conflict, wealth distribution, supply chain disruptions, inflation, low productivity, affordability, mis/disinformation are all key risks at play.
The Panel will bring together diverse perspectives on how to ensure Canada’s STI ecosystem can meet the challenges of providing the knowledge, technology, talent and innovation necessary to enable Canada to adapt in response to the polycrisis.
