Complex systems theory, political science, sustainability science, and participatory research all offer valuable tools and insights for decision makers – but are too often siloed or locked away in academia.
Dr Nazia M. Habib started the Centre for Resilience and Sustainable Development (CRSD) to meet the urgent need to embed complex system thinking, creative design, political economics and related disciplines, into policy and strategy development in a way that is fast, accessible and usable by decision makers in the public and private sectors.
The Cambridge Policy Boot Camp is the flagship tool of the centre to support decision makers in identifying new policies and strategies.
