Angola Risks Forum

The Global Risks Forum – National Engagement Series: Angola is a flagship, hybrid-format initiative led by NWG Angola, an independent coalition of Angolan and international experts. Operating free from any government affiliation, political influence, or institutional bias, NWG Angola is committed to advancing nonpartisan, science-driven engagement on disaster risk reduction (DRR), disaster risk finance (DRF), and disaster risk intelligence (DRI).

This series is embedded within the global architecture of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) and Global Risks Forum (GRF), which convene place-based and transnational expertise to address systemic risks through foresight, data-driven policy, and technological integration. Through annual national dialogues, NWG Angola creates an open, inclusive space for structured engagement across the quintuple helix—academia, civil society, private sector, international partners, and public sector institutions (as participants, not organizers).

Strategic Purpose

The Angola series is designed to:

• Catalyze expert-led, nationally grounded discourse on complex and compounding risks;
• Promote the adoption of emerging technologies for risk-informed decision-making and anticipatory governance;
• Strengthen Angola’s resilience through sustainable finance innovation and multi-sectoral collaboration;
• Enable inclusive solutions by engaging local communities, youth, women-led networks, and regional stakeholders in the co-design of risk reduction pathways.

Sessions are results-oriented and seek to produce actionable frameworks, simulation-informed policies, financial instruments, and scalable governance innovations tailored to Angola’s diverse risk landscape—from drought and coastal erosion to urban vulnerability, economic fragility, and ecological degradation.

Governance and Participation

All engagements under NWG Angola are independently governed and implemented under the auspices of the Global Risks Alliance (GRA) and Global Risks Forum (GRF). The NWG operates autonomously, without affiliation to the Government of Angola or any political party, preserving the neutrality, scientific integrity, and ethical independence necessary for open, transformative dialogue.

Participation is open to professionals, institutions, and communities committed to risk-informed development, anticipatory finance, and systemic resilience. This series provides a trusted platform for diverse actors to co-develop long-term strategies, simulation-based policies, and innovation programs that align with the Sendai Framework, SDGs, Paris Agreement, and regional development agendas.

Join the Movement

NWG Angola invites all stakeholders—researchers, policymakers, financiers, entrepreneurs, youth leaders, Indigenous and local communities, and international allies—to engage in the Global Risks Forum – Angola Series as speakers, contributors, and partners. Together, we will shape Angola’s pathway to resilience, sustainability, and innovation—anchored in open science, inclusive governance, and strategic foresight.
