SEEKING A NEW WAY FORWARD 

​

A new reality unfolded dramatically before our very eyes in such a short period marked by sweeping Covid-19 pandemic, supply chain crises and prolonged military conflicts around the world  

Both economic and political landscapes remain shattered and yet, an end to these disruptions are still at no foreseeable sight.

The scale of our response to extreme climate events leaves the global energy transition plan behind schedule. Amidst these unprecedented circumstances, humanity is confronted with the urgency and difficulty of resolving all these crises or face unprecedented but largely self inflicted decimation. It is with this sense of concern that we have set up a chain of initiatives at RADE, bringing together young and experienced researchers around the table with gears on, ready for the storm.

 
As an individual who left active consular duty 7 years ago, I believe in experiences and network of senior diplomats, scholars, political leaders, monarchs, business and religious leaders with whom I have worked closely in those 13 years in Europe and Africa. While I appreciate that many like myself have retired to private life, I believe it is yet another call to duty. We can bring our wealth of experience and goodwill to support those we left in public or foreign service at a time like this.

 
I thank you for visiting this page and I invite you to series of our scheduled programs. Please browse through the entire website and let us hear from you.

 
Thank you once again for your kind attention.
