Preparing for the crises after COVID-19: Systematic foresight as a tool for evidence-informed precautionary policy

Abstract: Political decision-makers are regularly confronted with a large number of hypothetical crises. State and society expect them to make appropriate provisions to tackle these scenarios simultaneously. However, adequate preparation for all conceivable incidents in the future far exceeds the available resources.

Factors such as the public visibility and likelihood of an expected crisis and the damage it is anticipated to cause play an important role in this decision. Also at play are analogy-based reason­ing and political intuition. COVID-19 illustrates that these future heuristics entail significant decision-making risks. Despite many warnings about the consequences the spread of infectious diseases could have globally, hardly any state was adequately pre­pared. Taking credible predictions through systematic foresight into account would help decision-makers to set priorities for prevention t
