#Sustainable Futures Lab
The webinar recording password is: F@!kVRP6
The COVID-19 pandemic—and the resulting economic, political, and social crisis—is the most profound global disruption in decades. How we respond to it will remake the world.
While it is impossible to predict what this change will look like over the coming years, to help our members, partners, and community navigate this uncertain time, BSR has published a set of three scenarios. Each scenario depicts a different possible future in 2025, structured around two overarching critical uncertainties: the success of efforts to contain the virus and what the socioeconomic policy response will look like.
Join us for a webinar to learn more about what the future may hold and how to leverage these scenarios to develop more resilient business strategies.
