Sessions featuring Alanna O'Mally at Future-ready businesses in a world in transition
Keynote by prof Alanna O'Mally
Alanna O'Mally's keynote addresses the confluence of geopolitical crises, their economic impacts, and the role of the Global South. She challenges the narrative of crisis, suggesting it presents an opportunity for a more inclusive global order and highlights the importance of recognizing the agency of Global South actors.
“But what's interesting about what's happening now in the world is that it is, as the title suggests, a confluence of different crises that have created a relatively, kind of destructive moment in the systems of power that have ordered the world, essentially for most of the twentieth century.”
QnA Alanna
The session explores the ongoing energy crisis and potential shifts toward renewable energy. It highlights the importance of embracing global collaboration in scientific research and the need for a long-term vision in politics to address global challenges. Over-reliance on specific waterways for oil is questioned.
“It almost seems like this crisis that is being created shows us even more that this is really the way to go and to do and actually and and create a more diverse energy supply.”
