The ongoing Ukraine war could disrupt global supply chains and create energy insecurity, impacting countries like Italy. The conflict has caused an influx of migrants into Europe and disrupted global supply chains, leading to a rise in commodity prices and an energy crisis. Italy is particularly vulnerable due to its reliance on energy imports from Russia, record inflation, and dependence on wheat imports. By examining potential scenarios, this analysis helps humanitarian actors respond to the needs of affected populations in Italy and the surrounding region.
Strategic Planning Manual
Drawing on extensive research, the book demonstrates in practical terms how embedding futures-focused thinking into practice can help humanitarian actors to enhance their impact and fit for the future.
