Programma provvisorio 2025

"La sicurezza umana in un mondo VUCA (VOLATILE, INCERTO, COMPLESSO, AMBIGUO): Navigare nelle sfide, costruire la resilienza".

In un'epoca caratterizzata da rapidi cambiamenti geopolitici, disparità socio-economiche e minacce alla sicurezza in continua evoluzione, il concetto di sicurezza umana è emerso come una preoccupazione fondamentale per la stabilità e il benessere globale. La conferenza "Human Security in a VUCA World" si propone di esplorare le molteplici dimensioni della sicurezza umana nel panorama volatile di oggi, affrontando questioni urgenti come i conflitti armati, il terrorismo, il cambiamento climatico, le pandemie e le perturbazioni tecnologiche, nell'interesse di stabilire una pace duratura e sostenibile.

·        Evolving approaches to addressing human security challenges involve adapting strategies, policies, and interventions to respond effectively to changing global challenges. These include trends such as holistic and integrated approaches, as well as the safety of human centers. These responses include multilateral organizations, alliances, and diplomatic efforts crucial in addressing transnational threats that impact human security, using human rights-focused approaches and considering aspects such as environmental sustainability. These evolving approaches reflect a broader recognition that security goes beyond the absence of military threats and encompasses a range of factors that impact the well-being and dignity of individuals and communities. Adapting to these changes requires military and civilian organizations to be flexible, collaborate, and understand contemporary security challenges’ complex and interconnected nature.
