CONTACT:Julia Grosse
DESCRIPTION:The complexity of the urban\, interconnected modern world\, co
 mbined with the complexity of a changing planet\, makes the future unpredi
 ctable and uncertain.  How societies can prepare and manage for unpredicta
 ble times raises fundamental questions about how society can persist throu
 gh uncertainty.  Nature’s experience over billions of years with surviva
 l through swings in climate\, crashing asteroids\, and self-inflicted exti
 nctions provides surprising and counter-intuitive clues for us\, with less
 ons for the architecture of trade networks\, collective decisions\, and in
 vestments to maintain biological and cultural diversity. \n\nFollowed by a
  drinks reception. Please register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/na
