The 3rd FPCI-GRIPS Virtual Public Forum"Finding the Know-How to Navigate the Perfect Uncertainty"
GRIPS is collaborating with FPCI (Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia) in convening the FPCI-GRIPS Public Forum,
an open public webinar series where experts and policymakers can discuss the most pressing issues of international affairs and foreign policy with researchers and students across Southeast Asia and Japan.
Overview
Finding the Know-How to Navigate the Perfect Uncertainty: Transitional World Order, Pressing Climate, Food and Energy Crises, and Emerging Tech
During the high level week of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and ASEAN summit last month, leaders were highlighting that the world is heading in a new direction. A direction that many believe is the wrong direction. The rules-based world order is being challenged and multilateral mechanisms' effectiveness are being questioned. On another hand, wars, conflicts, humanitarian, food, energy crises and global threat of climate change are ongoing or even getting worse. At the same time, personalized international relations is the new trend and it does make the world more uncertain.
To dive deeper into how countries in Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific region can turn these overlapping challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth and leadership, Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) and the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) will convene a virtual public discussion titled “Finding the Know-How to Navigate the Perfect Uncertainty: Transitional World Order, Pressing Climate, Food, and Energy Crises, and Emerging Technologies.” The session will explore how the region can strengthen collaboration, resilience, and innovation amid global uncertainty.
