About Us

The world faces a daunting set of challenges, from the 2008 global financial crisis and ongoing climate emergency to COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders are realizing that these challenges are interconnected and transnational, and they require innovative thinking and cross-sector collaboration. The Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation (CAPRI) was established in 2022 in Taipei and the United States to address these challenges by drawing on the experience of the Asia-Pacific region.

CAPRI’s mission is to enhance global resilience and promote innovative governance by drawing on the experience of the Asia-Pacific region through comparative public policy research.

As a nongovernmental, nonpartisan, international organization, CAPRI’s current work focuses on meeting challenges to resilience at the intersection of health, innovation, environmental sustainability, and the economy in the Asia Pacific, particularly in the high-income societies.

“COVID and the climate emergency are all crises of resilience: our ability to adapt and survive.”
