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.
