Strengthening Transnational Governance to Mitigate Risks


James Hughes

Global Catastrophic Risks

Posted: Dec 7, 2008

The IEET, Center for Responsible Nanotechnology and the Lifeboat Foundation hosted a meeting on Global Catastrophic Risks on Friday, November 14 in Mountain View, California, one day prior to the Convergence 08 Unconference.  The seminar’s theme was “Building a Resilient Civilization,” for which IEET executive director J. Hughes argued in favor of strengthening transnational governance to mitigate risks. Jeriaska recorded the conference, and is helping us in making the talks available.  (MP3)
