The Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center is pleased to announce its inaugural Forum on Global Resilience which will be held on March 18, 2020 in Miami, Florida.

As we enter a new decade, the global challenges that we face are more complex, frequent and intense than ever. The Center’s mission is to reach One Billion People with resilience solutions to urgent challenges including natural disasters, migration, extreme heat and water/food insecurity by 2030. But this cannot be done alone.

At this Forum the discussions will explore proven, innovative and scalable solutions – and discover a new appreciation for what it means to be resilient. The Forum on Global Resilience is an invitation-only event featuring thought leaders, experts and influencers from a variety of backgrounds.
