About this Webinar
Rising geopolitical tensions, as the major powers incline to confrontation rather than compromise, are generating new structural realities in the global economy. For corporates in all sectors, the challenge goes beyond monitoring the news cycle and requires a systematic risk management response. Direct impacts on business stem from actual and potential armed conflicts along with the use of economic weapons (sanctions, protectionism, ‘tech war’). Indirect impacts stem arise from the interrelation between geopolitics, climate change and increasing migration flows.
