Why the World Has Changed
The twenty-first century is characterised by increasingly interconnected challenges. Maritime security, aviation, trade, energy, cyber security, climate change, food systems and national security can no longer be governed in isolation. Effective governance requires integrated thinking, cross-sector collaboration and innovative leadership. The Strategic Domains Council was established to respond to this new strategic reality
