Extreme weather, pandemics, cyberattacks, and other disruptions increasingly reveal how deeply our societies are interconnected. When one system fails\u2014whether energy, water, food, or communication\u2014its effects can ripple across others, amplifying risks in unexpected ways. These impact chains expose both the fragility and resilience of our critical infrastructures, from the first shock to the \u201clast mile\u201d where individuals and communities are affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This public lecture explores how cascading impacts unfold, why systemic risks and \u201cpolycrises\u201d challenge conventional crisis management, and what it takes to strengthen cooperation across sectors and disciplines. Drawing on recent research and real-world examples, it highlights how understanding\u2014and translating\u2014complex systems can help decision-makers, scientists, and citizens better prepare for the uncertain future ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecturer \u2013 Alexander Fekete<\/strong> is Professor of Risk and Crisis Management at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences. He works in the field of security research on natural hazards such as floods, earthquakes or landslides. In particular, his research focuses on their impact on affected persons, but also on power and supply chain failures. He has gained work experience at universities, the United Nations and the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
