Theme 4 – The Long Haul
The Covid-19 crisis exposed fragilities in the health care system, social safety nets, supply chains, and transportation networks, while at the same time redefined the limits of what is possible in terms of adaptability and policy responses. This panel will explore implications for long term economic and environmental sustainability, including the appropriate level of preparedness for crises, the trade-off between efficiency and resilience, and how these lessons can be help fight the looming climate change crisis.
Moderator/Discussant: Madeleine Chenette, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Canada to the OECD
