Overcoming Crises. Shaping Policy for an Uncertain Future.
From January 23-25, Berlin Demography Days will host 13 public panel discussions with eminent experts and decision-makers from politics, business, science and civil society.
They will exchange visions for future crisis resilience. Panel discussions will look at best practice responses to shocks caused e.g. by violent conflicts, climate change and pandemics, and to population trends.
