European Risk Policy Institute
Strategic Risk Policy for a world of systemic disruption.
ERPI advances strategic risk thinking for leaders and institutions operating across climate pressure, geopolitical fragmentation, technological transformation and systemic interdependence.
The operating environment
A different risk landscape requires a different approach.
Energy, finance, food, communications, infrastructure, security, climate, technology and governance cannot be assessed reliably as isolated domains.
ERPI works at the level where vulnerabilities interact, assumptions fail and decisions acquire consequences across systems.

PEPSP-1 public synthesis
The public GDI rises to 9.5 as stronger climate pressure and continuing conflict disruption reach the systems needed for recovery. Fuel, food, transport and humanitarian provision remain connected channels of strain. Alternative supplies, functioning institutions and specific restoration successes moderate the deterioration, but access to those buffers is uneven. The condition remains Systemic transmission phase.

Our approach
From recognised risk to strategic vulnerability.
Strategic Risk Policy®
Leadership and policy thinking that begins before risks are fully formed: with vulnerability, dependency, consequence and strategic choice.
3°C World Strategic Risk Policy®
A strategic planning frame for testing whether decisions, infrastructure and institutions remain viable under more severe interacting systemic stress.
What ERPI does
