For our latest Breakfast Discussion, hosted at the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall, London, we were joined by Sir John Beddington, who is currently Senior Advisor to the Oxford Martin School at Oxford University, and a leading authority on assessing and managing risk.

After we indulged in an early morning breakfast of delicious bacon rolls, fresh fruit and coffee, Sir John demonstrated how disruptive megatrends shaping the 21st century pose fresh challenges, as well as new opportunities, to humankind.

He explains that there are unavoidable threats to come over the next 20 years in the form of food, water and energy poverty. How do we develop the systems to mitigate these risks, maintain political stability and maximise economic growth?
