On 30 May, the Stockholm Hub on Environment, Climate and Security held a high-level event on ‘Economic Competitiveness and Resilience in the Era of Climate Change’.

Representing SIPRI, Dr Florian Krampe, Director of the Climate Change and Risk Programme, presented a knowledge briefing on climate risks to economic competitiveness along with researchers from the other institutes.
SIPRI Director Dan Smith joined Måns Nilsson, Lisen Schultz, Deputy Director of Education from the Stockholm Resilience Centre, and Thomas Rebermark, Director of Swedish Water House at the Stockholm International Water Institute, to offer input on the topic. The event closed after an open discussion led by Robert Watt, Engagement Director at the Stockholm Environment Institute.
