THE EARTH SECURITY INDEX 2015: MANAGING GLOBAL RESOURCE RISKS RESILIENCE IN THE 21ST CENTURY

Год издания: 2015

The 2015 Earth Security Index provides a strategic analysis of sustainability risks for resources that are of geo-political significance. The report offers a data driven dashboard for multi-national companies, governments and civil society to navigate a complex web of resource risks. It also provides seven strategic blueprints that translate complexity into specific actions, aimed at strengthening cross border cooperation and building resilience. For key commodities, from oil and gas to rice and cocoa, the report’s conclusions demonstrate the need for the risk analyses that are routinely conducted by governments and companies to develop a more integrated view of sustainability pressures. The report’s blueprints highlight win-win opportunities for innovation in sustainable technologies, infrastructures, business models and policies. These solutions can help companies and governments build resilience to the political and economic risks associated with resource pressures.
