Is Britain prepared for the military threats of the 2020s? Join Lord George Robertson, former NATO Secretary General and lead of the UK government's 2025 Strategic Defence Review, for a vital discussion: Is Britain safe, and how to make it safer?
Lord Robertson delivers a stark assessment: the UK is "under-insured, under-prepared and not safe." He will examine whether the UK’s armed forces can met the challenges of an increasingly unstable and unpredictable world outlining the urgent "step-change" required to modernise our defences.
From drones and AI to the necessity of a public "wake-up call" regarding defence spending, this talk confronts the hard choices needed to secure our future.
