Description

Governments face a growing list of critical long-term issues, including climate change, natural disasters, population aging, and more, that require long-term planning and sustained attention to solve.

This forward-looking event features Nicholas Chesterley, behavioural economist and author of the book Future-Generation Government, who will share his insights on how governments can overcome present bias by adopting new approaches to tackle complex and long-term challenges.

Participants will gain valuable insights into the pressures behind short-term thinking and explore strategies to support long-term planning and the challenges of tomorrow.

Speaker

  • Nicholas Chesterley, Director General, Microeconomic Policy Analysis, Department of Finance Canada, and author of Future-Generation Government
