Shaping the future: Our strategy for research and innovation in humanitarian response.
Ben Holt’s work focuses on making strategic foresight useful during humanitarian crises and helping organisations to better anticipate and prepare for emerging challenges. The IFRC has used foresight in some of the world’s most complex humanitarian challenges, including the Ukraine conflict and food security programmes in sub-Saharan Africa.
Ben is also a visitor at the Cambridge University Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER). This work examines long-term risks of social collapse.
With a background in innovation and organisational change, Ben pushes for practical solutions and real-world impact, linking possible futures back to concrete action.
