OECD - LEED Webinar Series - Local economic resilience and adaptability to long-term challenges

 

The OECD LEED research project “Building resilience through greater adaptability to long-term challenges” aims to explore the link between local resilience and the capacity to adapt to long-term challenges such as ageing populations and the shift to a green economy.

 

Resilience is a broad concept that analyses not only the ability to resist and recover from adverse shocks, but also to ‘bounce back’ stronger than before and to learn from the experience. The OECD LEED Webinar series will explore the notion of ‘local economic resilience’ for practitioners in local labour markets.

 

The objective of the series is to develop a practical policy lens for building resilience in local labour markets for local partners, relevant stakeholders, researchers, practitioners and academics. The webinars will enable serious discussion on the concept of ‘local economic resilience’ in an informal setting that facilitates interaction and questions. The format will feature presentations from policy experts and a roundtable discussion with the audience.
