At this extraordinary time in history , WEP 2022 will explore tipping points : stress events such as climate change , pandemics , resource shortages , and rapid population growth . What causes these tipping points ? How can we predict when they will occur ? And how can we adapt , recalibrate and bounce back stronger when they do ? Resilience is the ability to withstand adversity , weather challenges , setbacks , and unforeseen circumstances . The global COVID-19 pandemic has tested people and systems the world over . But humanity has proven resilient in a time of exceptional adversity . It is with cautious optimism that we have chosen the theme for WEP 2022 . We hope this theme will provide an opportunity for the global community , regardless of our perspectives and background , to come together collaboratively to address various global adversities we all face .
Should you choose to sponsor WEP this year , you will be sending a clear message about your organisation ’ s priorities for tackling these vital issues .
