Managing critical risks poses significant challenges for policymakers. The OECD High Level Risk Forum conducts research to help policymakers understand and identify critical risks, better anticipate them and mitigate their consequences.

Through partnerships, evidence generation and strategic frameworks, the OECD supports stakeholders in implementing cutting edge approaches to the multiple challenges of risk. Based on a whole-of-society approach, public and private sector actors discover ways to build greater resilience together and to rebound more quickly from
unanticipated shocks.

These activities are grounded in the OECD Public Governance cluster and are served by the Directorate for Public Governance and Territorial Development.
