September the 10th sees Rīga host the first ‘Nordic Resilience Summit’ which is described as “an event uniting leaders in business, academia, government, defense, and technology and aimed at strengthening societal resilience, crisis preparedness and leadership, seeking new ways to strengthen economic activity and infrastructure operated by enterprises, and helping communities across Scandinavia and the Baltic region to withstand adverse hybrid and sub-kinetic aggression.”
The summit is being organized by the year-old non-governmental organization CIREN (Civilian Resilience Nordic) and features speakers such as Washington State’s Emergency Director Robert Ezelle, Latvia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Baiba Braže, Jānis Kažociņš (Geopolitics Adviser, former head of the Constitution Protection Bureau), and Baiba Kaškina (General Manager of national cybersecurity agency CERT.LV).
The summit is taking place at the National Library of Latvia and livestream coverage will be broadcast in English from 09:00-13:00 local time here on LSM.
CIREN was established last year with a self-stated mission “to protect communities in Northern Europe by improving the regional capability to mitigate against, prepare for, respond to, and recover from threatened or actual natural disasters, terror, hybrid threats/gray-zone and military activity, or other man-made disasters.”
