Governing Complexity Design Principles for Improving the Governance of Global Catastrophic Risks (2019)

This knowledge overview paper explores the implications of complexity thinking for governing global catastrophic risks (GCRs), in particular a new breed of super-complex GCRs. The paper offers a novel interrogation of why legacy governance structures are not fit for purpose when it comes to responding to the complex drivers of GCRs.
