The TAB report places the concept of resilience in the context of current scientific, social and political debates and provides an overview of key areas for action. It presents and analyses international and national early warning systems and how they function, their strengths and weaknesses, in particular during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what lessons can be learned for the early detection of future pandemics and potential crises. A systematic overview of foreseeable future systemic risks is complemented by exemplary resilience analyses of two critical infrastructure sectors, the health system and the transport system, with a focus on road and rail transport, each in relation to the systemic risk of climate change. Weaknesses are identified and approaches for improving resilience are derived. On the basis of the overall analysis, options for action will be derived as to how crisis forecasting and prevention in Germany can be improved in order to strengthen the resilience of the economy and society. A particular focus is on the question of how the issues of early warning and crisis prevention can be more firmly anchored at the level of parliamentary work in the German Bundestag.The main results are presented in the four-page policy brief TAB-Fokus no. 45 and its web version on the project page. The full report with a detailed summary (20 pages) is available in German only.
