Pillars of Stability: Building Resilient Systems
Event by: Newsweek

The systems that power modern economies are under strain from accelerating demand and weakening resilience.
Rapid urbanization, population growth, industrial expansion and AI infrastructure buildouts are increasing demand for energy, water and critical physical infrastructure faster than new capacity can be built. At the same time, climate change is intensifying resource constraints and disruption risks through environmental stress and extreme weather.
Growth in the coming decade will depend on strengthening and modernising the foundations of the economy, improving efficiency across all sectors, and making them more resilient to climate shocks. How should businesses and governments invest in core systems so they can withstand escalating climate disruption and meet rising demand? What will make or break a city’s resilience in the coming decade?
We have many speakers joining us through the day including:
• Noelle Walsh, President, Cloud Operations and Innovation, Microsoft
• Bob Holycross, VP, Chief Sustainability, Environment & Safety Officer, Ford
• Julie Kitcher, Chief Sustainability Officer, Airbus
• Ellen Jackowski, Chief Sustainability Officer, Mastercard
