INFRASTRUCTURAL, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC SECURITY: What makes a country resilient when risk is no longer exceptional?

In recent years, systemic risk has become structural, impacting the continuity of essential services, social cohesion, and the economic capacity of regions. This workshop offers a comparative reflection on infrastructure, public services, and local development, comparing experiences gained in highly stressful contexts with the challenges faced in various European contexts. The goal is to understand what lessons can be learned to strengthen institutional and territorial resilience, reduce inequalities, and ensure equitable access to essential resources and services in conditions of no longer exceptional risk.
How can we ensure the continuity and reliability of critical infrastructure in contexts of ongoing risk? What is the role of public services, employment, and social cohesion in local resilience? How do energy poverty, environmental risk, and energy communities influence regional vulnerabilities?
