Project on Future Global Shocks
17-Jan-2011
In this project, public and private experts explore how to increase resilience to Future Global Shocks. The Project will generate options for governments to enhance capacity to identify, anticipate, control, contain and/or mitigate large disasters. It recognises that shocks can provide opportunities for progress, not just negative consequences. Amongst the inputs from which the final report will draw are six background papers and case studies on the following themes: Systemic Financial Risk; Pandemics; Cyber Risks; Geomagnetic Storms; Social Unrest and Anticipating Extreme Events.

Italy faces the broadest range of natural hazards amongst European countries. OECD reviewed Italy’s national system of civil protection to evaluate how these risks are assessed and monitored, how the public is kept informed about these risks, and how public authorities coordinate resources to manage large scale events. Attention was also given to implementation of prevention policies and strategies for disaster recovery. The review identifies best practices and opportunities for improvement based on international comparisons. More information here or contact jack.radisch@oecd.org.
