Profound shifts across global energy systems, materials and land use are reshaping the foundations of the world economy. Geopolitical shocks – most recently the US/Israel-Iran conflict of 2026 – have brought these dynamics into sharp focus, highlighting the continued exposure of businesses to energy security risks, price volatility and supply chain disruption. At the same time, they reinforce the urgency – and opportunity – to build a new resource economy rooted in resilience and long-term prosperity.

This vision is outlined by Chapter Zero and Systemiq in a new report: The New Resource Economy – a vision for the role of boards in business resilience and economic transition. Understanding this transition is becoming essential for forward-thinking non-executive directors and board members navigating an increasingly complex and uncertain operating environment.

This webinar for global non-executive directors and senior business leaders will feature a briefing from Jeremy Oppenheim, Managing Partner and Co-Founder at Systemiq, on the resource revolutions shaping today’s operating landscape, where participants will gain insights on how boards can use this paper to:

• Reframe net zero discussions in their boardrooms
• Navigate transition challenges
• Cultivate the winning capabilities their organisations need to position themselves as resilient value creators.

This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Tim Waddell, Chapter Zero Fellow and NED at Mizuho International Plc, Eran Klein, NED at TBC Bank Plc, Magali Anderson, Non-executive Director at Anglo American Plc, and Francis Wedin, Founder and Executive Chair at Vulcan Energy Resources, who will explore what the findings of the report mean for the boardrooms of the future. There will also be an opportunity for audience Q&A at the end of the session.
