CAPRI Annual Forum--Resilience, Risk, and Reinvention

In a world defined by fragmentation, rising risks, and rapid transformation, how can the Asia-Pacific chart its path forward? This year’s Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation Annual Forum Resilience, Risk, and Reinvention: Asia Pacific in a Splintering World will focus on the defining challenges shaping the region’s future: advancing the energy transition while balancing security and inclusive growth, managing security shocks amidst conflicts from Ukraine to Iran, navigating shifting geoeconomic dynamics to sustain competitiveness, and bridging divides among diverse stakeholders to mitigate polarization.

A highlight of the program is the fireside chat between Stephen Mull (Vice Provost for Global Affairs at the University of Virginia and Former U.S. Lead Coordinator for Iran Nuclear Implementation) and Matt Pottinger (CEO at Garnaut Global and Former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor), moderated by Michael Wills, President at The National Bureau of Asian Research. The conversation will focus on how conflicts unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz impact policymaking across the Pacific. Read more and register now.
