Countries and societies are increasingly interdependent and interconnected. They are also increasingly dependent on well-functioning infrastructures. At the same time, the number, scale and complexity of risks are rising. Violent conflicts, natural disasters, health crises and other emergency situations are accelerating. The management of complex risks and the protection of critical infrastructures is therefore becoming increasingly challenging.

Meeting these challenges requires leaders in government, security organisations, and critical infrastructures to:

• be aware of the current global and emerging risk landscape and the specific risk profiles of their countries,
• to anticipate new risks,
• to understand the vulnerability of critical infrastructures and how they can be better protected.
