Global Risk and Aotearoa NZ’s resilience: Podcast discussion with Peter Griffin

This week Adapt Research’s Matt Boyd had a conversation with journalist Peter Griffin of BusinessDesk. The pair had a wide-ranging discussion about global catastrophic risk and what this means for NZ.

Topics include risks from AI, biothreats, climate change, nuclear or great power war, volcanoes, and the gaps in New Zealand’s risk management system.

Resilience is possible if we can overcome political short-termism, and focus planning and investment to where most of the risk lies.
