A Glimpse into the Future: The Humanitarian System
Rigas Hadzilacos, Practice Lead, Knowledge Networks and Analysis, World Economic Forum Geneva
What is the current state of play and the strategic lines of thinking in the humanitarian system? What are the technologies that will play a role in the humanitarian system in the next 10–15 years — what is an optimistic scenario for their use and what might be some of the unintended consequences? Is there an incentive for the private sector to get involved and are there any ethical considerations to beware of?
In this week’s episode of “A Glimpse into the Future”, we talk to Peter Maurer, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross and co-chair of the World Economic Forum’s Council on the Future of the Humanitarian System.
