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.
