About

A high-level executive summit bringing together business leaders, resilience experts, policymakers, academics, investors, and critical infrastructure operators to discuss the resilience challenges that organizations can no longer afford to ignore.

Organized by the Global Council for Business Resilience (GCBR), the Summit focuses on the emerging risks and strategic vulnerabilities shaping the future of business, society, and critical systems.

Why This Summit?

The risks shaping our future no longer exist in isolation. Technology, geopolitics, climate, infrastructure, finance and human systems are increasingly interconnected.

The Paris Resilience Summit brings leaders together to address the issues that are often discussed separately — but must now be solved together.

The conversations we avoid. The solutions we need.

Why We Need It

The greatest risks of our time do not belong to any one sector. Neither should the solutions.

The world faces interconnected risks that no single institution, industry, or nation can solve alone. We need a permanent cross-sector platform to turn fragmented conversations into collective action and build a more resilient future.
