How might we most effectively measure readiness for high-impact low-probability risks in the assessment of UK resilience?

Background

The world is changing rapidly and we continue to see long-term shifts in the balance of global and military power, increasing competition between states as well as the threat from non-state actors. The challenges have become more complex and intertwined. We are inviting research organisations to consider our latest research interests in measuring and responding to security threats in a way that is evidence-led.
