Strategic Moves in 360° Mode – Navigating with the Geo-Resilience Compass

Successfully addressing complex health risks such as Long COVID, ME/CFS, MCS, and zoonotic threats requires far more than medical expertise. It demands a strategic architecture that interlinks global resilience, semantic integrity, and context-sensitive action. This is precisely where the Geo-Resilience Compass comes into play: as a dynamic navigation instrument that not only provides orientation but enables targeted strategic moves — along spatio-temporal challenges and systemic interfaces.

The selection of relevant “players” presented here is not a static model, but a curated playing field. It forms the foundation for strategic movements within a multidimensional space, where environment, health, infrastructure, and society are not understood as separate silos, but as interwoven systems. Each actor represents a deliberate move — whether for detection, regulation, prevention or restoration.

This list is intentionally multipolar, interdisciplinary, and semantically precise. It includes international organizations, space agencies, environmental and health institutions, AI and EO platforms, biobanks, patient networks, indigenous monitoring programs, toxicology experts, micronutrient researchers, database developers, start-ups and visionary individuals. Their roles reflect the eight strategic compass directions — from early warning systems and adaptive infrastructure to societal stabilization and semantic coherence.

The order in which the actors are listed does not imply any ranking. All participants are equally important and contribute essentially to the overall strategic process. The challenges we face — whether natural disasters, biological risks, or digital vulnerability — are too complex, too interconnected, and too dynamic to be solved in isolation.

I have chosen this 360° approach to systematically capture all relevant aspects and pursue the goal of a strategic “checkmate” against these diseases and risks. It will require many targeted moves — but I am convinced: if we maintain the holistic perspective and use the compass as an open system, we can overcome these challenges together.

Diseases and disasters know no boundaries and they unite humanity through shared vulnerability, whether it be long COVID, extreme weather events, earthquakes, environmental toxins or supply chain disruptions. The actors mentioned here are (only) a selection of key players, but the game requires comprehensive, dynamic participation — from local communities to supranational organizations.

Global Governance & Disaster Coordination

Actors with a mandate for control, coordination, early warning, and semantic resilience architecture

(this is only a selection of examples)

• UN-OCHA / WHO / UNESCO / UNDRR / UNIDIR / UNEP / UNO / OECD
• World Economic Forum (WEF) / FEMA / FAO / WOAH (OIE) / Red Cross
• IEEE & GRSS Disaster Management & Early Warning Working Group (Ing. Hassan Abouseda, Dr. Siri Jodha Singh Khalsa & Team). Hassan Abouseada is a relevant player for our Geo-Resilience Compass with interfaces to Earth Observation & Spatial Intelligence because, as IEEE-GRSS coordinator and head of the Egyptian Space Agency, he develops standards for disaster management, early warning and frequency coordination. Director of Frequency Coordination, Egyptian Space Agency (EgSA) – responsible for registering and coordinating satellite frequencies in accordance with ITU Radio Regulations. / IEEE Senior Member and initiator of the IEEE GRSS Disaster Management & Early Warning Study / Working Group. Objective: Standardization of remote sensing data and frequency usage for disaster prevention and early warning. He is working on policy frameworks for disaster-driven bands. This innovation creates reliable communication channels for SatCom, GNSS, and EO data in crises. In doing so, he is making a governance-related contribution that strengthens the axis of system coherence and global disaster coordination. This makes him a bridge builder between technology and governance.
• Dr. Siri Jodha Singh Khalsa is a strategic governance player with strong links to Earth Observation & Spatial Intelligence, as he develops the semantic infrastructure for Earth observation and early warning systems in his role as a leading scientist and IEEE‑GRSS Standards Chair. Senior Research Scientist Emeritus at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), University of Colorado Boulder. Chair of the IEEE GRSS Standards Committee and liaison to ISO/TC 211 and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). This makes him a key player in the standardization and interoperability of EO data. A bridge builder between science, technology and governance, as he is active in both research and international standardization bodies. It brings standards, interoperability, and semantic clarity to global disaster preparedness and strengthens the System Coherence & Global Disaster Coordination axis, as it represents the standardization and governance dimension of Earth observation and ensures the social legitimacy of the Compass through global connectivity.
• Dan Goldin also fits perfectly into the Geo-Resilience Compass, not as a classic disaster governance actor, but as a strategic innovation and space governance point. His role as the 9th NASA Administrator (1992–2001) and as the driving force behind programs such as the ISS, the James Webb Space Telescope, and over 60 astronaut missions makes him a symbol of technological resilience, space governance and deep tech innovation. Longest-serving NASA chief, appointed by three US presidents. Led the “Faster, Better, Cheaper” strategy, which made NASA missions more efficient and cost-effective. Responsible for key projects: Mars Pathfinder, Chandra X-Ray Observatory, Hubble Servicing, ISS construction, James Webb Telescope. In doing so, he shaped the resilience architecture of space travel and the ability to manage complex systems under budget and time pressure. After his time at NASA, he founded Cold Canyon AI, an innovation advisory firm. He advises venture capitalists and startups in aerospace, AI, national security systems, advanced sensors and hypersonics. His work demonstrates how resilience is operationalized through technological innovation from space travel to AI. He is a bridge builder between politics, science and industry. He strengthens the System Coherence & Global Disaster Coordination axis by demonstrating how large institutions combine innovation and resilience. With over 115,000 followers on LinkedIn, Dank Goldin is not only a former NASA administrator, but also an active opinion leader in the field of deep tech and space travel. He represents space governance (ISS, NASA programs) and, at the same time, the deep tech innovation scene. His reach on LinkedIn shows that he connects both worlds: institutional governance and modern innovation networks. This makes him a multiplier who can raise awareness of the Resilience Compass as a model for resilience through technology and cooperation. This would make the compass not only technically robust, but also communicatively compatible with global innovation networks. (1, 2, 3)
• ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance (AHA Centre)
• Moon Village Association (MVA). The MVA develops international, national and regional networks that operationalize governance structures for lunar activities. It creates standards for sustainable activities (e.g., Global Expert Group on Sustainable Lunar Activities – GEGSLA). These standards are directly compatible with the Geo-Resilience Compass because they can operationalize semantic clarity, governance rigor and spatiotemporal awareness in an extreme environment.

Actors with a mandate for control, coordination, early warning, and semantic resilience architecture: Strategic governance actors that strengthen the Geo-Resilience Compass on the axis of “System Coherence & Global Disaster Coordination” 

• Lóránt Czárán / Erin Martin  (EOTEC DevNet). EOTEC DevNet is a global platform for coordination, capacity building, and semantic early warning architecture in the field of Earth observation. It strengthens the System Coherence & Global Disaster Coordination axis by internationally networking data, training and governance standards and making them auditable. They collaborate with UNOOSA, WMO, CEOS, GEO, and other international institutions. Their work has led to the creation of regional communities of practice (Africa, America, Asia/Oceania, Europe) that share knowledge and tools for disaster risk reduction. This structure can be directly linked to the Geo-Resilience Compass because it operationalizes semantic coherence and governance rigor across regions. 
• Christina Corbane – Deputy Head of the Disaster Risk Management Unit, European Commission, Joint Research Centre. The JRC is the EU's science and knowledge platform, providing data, analysis and standards for policy and Member States. I chose her because, with her mandate at the JRC, she provides the semantic backbone for risk analysis, early warning and governance standards, thereby significantly strengthening the axis of system coherence and global disaster coordination.
• Jehad Abualrob, as Head of the Department of Health Quality and Occupational Health and Safety at Modern University College (Palestine), contributes to disaster resilience through a governance-adjacent mandate focused (Occupational health systems as stabilizing infrastructure in fragile regions / Health quality assurance as a semantic backbone for early warning and continuity / Crisis management research with relevance to wartime and post-conflict recovery)
  

Community-Based Disaster Management & Social Capital Systems

• Professor Jeff Donaldson (Preparedness Labs Inc. (researches social capital formation, community resilience, trust architectures, and communicative disaster preparedness)) & Tristan Claridge. Jeff Donaldson and Tristan Claridge belong in the Geo-Resilience Compass category Community-Based Disaster Management & Social Capital Systems because they research and operationalize the social dimension of resilience: trust, social networks, communication architectures, and community capacity for action. In doing so, they provide the social infrastructure for resilience — an indispensable part of the compass that goes beyond purely technical early warning systems. His research operationalizes these “soft factors” as hard resilience resources. Both are indispensable in the Geo-Resilience Compass because they operationalize the social dimension of resilience.

Disaster Policy & Semantic Emergency Management

• Jessica Jensen is a senior policy researcher at RAND. (Strategic realignment of disaster management as a semantically networked governance system / Research on early warning systems, Incident Command System (ICS), NIMS, and resilience policy)

Crisis Communication & Risk Governance Interfaces

• Dr. Riem Khalil is a consultant, university lecturer, and social scientist specializing in: Crisis management and risk communication in institutional, social and political contexts. She is a consultant, university lecturer, and social scientist with a clear focus on crisis management and risk communication. Her work addresses the institutional and political dimension of crisis communication — precisely the interface that is anchored in the Compass as the Risk Governance Interface.

Earth Observation & Spatial Intelligence

Platforms and agencies for EO data, early warning systems and geobased resilience

(this is only a selection of examples)

• NASA / NASA ARSET / UN-SPIDER / Copernicus/CEMS / Sentinel Hub / OpenEO

• Alessandro Bartoloni with interfaces to “Disaster Policy & Semantic Emergency Management”. His role as AMS Team Leader at CERN/INFN Rome combines basic physics research, signal interpretation and strategic knowledge architecture with resilience-relevant data analysis. He works with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) at CERN — an instrument that detects cosmic rays and particles from space. This data is part of the spatio-temporal information architecture, which is crucial for early warning systems, environmental monitoring, and risk detection. The ability to semantically structure complex physical signals is a governance-adjacent contribution. Reference to the compass: Signal interpretation becomes a semantic bridge between science and crisis management, providing a basis for converting data from high-energy physics and space research into auditable decision-making logic.
• Prof. Saied Pirasteh with interfaces to global governance and disaster coordination, because it combines GeoAI, remote sensing, and governance networks (UN-GGIM Academic Network, IEEE, ISPRS). In doing so, it strengthens the System Coherence & Global Disaster Coordination axis through semantic data integration and AI-supported early warning. His work on flood simulation, groundwater vulnerability, and building damage assessment demonstrates how GeoAI translates data into verifiable decision logic. He has invented the Geospatial Infrastructure Management Ecosystem (GeoIME), a platform that operationalizes geospatial data for resilience and disaster management. It provides an important semantic bridge between data (EO/GeoAI) and governance (UN‑GGIM, IEEE). It represents the digital and semantic dimension of Earth observation and makes the compass compatible with global governance networks.
• Fabiola D. Yépez with interfaces to Environmental Resilience Science. Her expertise in remote sensing, GIS, and disaster risk reduction also makes her an important player for the System Coherence & Global Disaster Coordination axis. It develops methodological tools for the non-destructive assessment of infrastructure, urban green spaces, river ecosystems, and geomorphological changes caused by hydro-meteorological hazards. It brings the Latin American perspective (Mexico) with technical and ecological precision, thereby expanding the social legitimacy of the compass.

 Regional Experts & Geo-Resilience Architects

Scientists from geopolitically relevant regions with a focus on resilience and governance

(this is only a selection of examples)

All of these regional experts and geo-resilience architects are important to the Geo-Resilience Compass because they represent the regional anchoring of resilience and governance. They contribute knowledge from geopolitically relevant regions, translate global standards into local contexts and thereby make the compass globally compatible and legitimate.

What connects them for the Geo-Resilience Compass?

1. Regional anchoring of resilience

• Each of these experts works in a geopolitically sensitive area — from China to India, Israel, Palestine, Ethiopia and many more.
• They contribute local experience with natural hazards, conflicts, health risks, and infrastructure problems.
• In doing so, they ensure that the Compass does not remain an abstract model, but reflects concrete regional realities.

They make the Compass globally compatible because it takes regional differences into account.

2. Translation of global standards

• These scientists are bridge builders: they translate international frameworks (Sendai Framework, EU Civil Protection Mechanism, WHO standards) into local governance structures.
• They ensure that semantic clarity and governance rigor not only exist at the global level, but are also operationalized regionally.

They can prevent global standards from remaining “top-down” and make them practically usable.

3. Interdisciplinary expertise

• The list includes hydrologists, epidemiologists, social scientists, disaster researchers, and governance experts.
• This diversity reflects the multi-hazard nature of resilience: environment, health, society, infrastructure.
• Together, they form a semantic network that can strengthen all axes of the compass.

They provide the technical depth that can make the compass an interdisciplinary tool.

4. Legitimacy and trust

• Regional experts build trust: Local communities are more likely to accept resilience strategies if they come from scientists with regional roots.
• They are gatekeepers for cultural sensitivity, crucial for avoiding misunderstandings and resistance.

They can ensure the social legitimacy of the Geo-Resilience Compass.

• Russia: Russia covers vast geographical areas with diverse hazards (the Arctic, Siberia, the Far East, the Caucasus, and the Volga region) and thus also plays a central role in global disaster prevention. Russia spans 11 time zones and is affected by a wide range of risks, including permafrost thaw, flooding, forest fires, earthquakes (Kamchatka, Sakhalin), and industrial and chemical accidents. A major environmental challenge within the scope of the Geo-Resilience Compass is contaminated sites and pollutants. Scientific tradition: Strong research in seismology, hydrology, cryosphere and civil protection. Without Russia, the compass in Eurasia and the Arctic would be incomplete. Prof. Viacheslav Lipatov – Research on flood risks and social vulnerability. / Arctic researchers – Cryosphere research (permafrost, sea ice), collaborations with international centers. / Ekaterina Paustyan & Irina Busygina – Analyses of resilience and governance in the post-Soviet space. A conceivable cluster placement: Environmental & Industrial Resilience → Contaminated sites, chemicals, mining. Arctic & Cryosphere Resilience → Permafrost, oil spills, Arctic contaminated sites. The current conflict is exacerbating chemical and industrial pollution. Russia is indispensable in the Geo-Resilience Compass, as the country plays a central role in global resilience due to its size, industrial past, and environmental challenges. Scientific expertise: Russian institutes (e.g., Academy of Sciences, Roshydromet) provide research on contaminated sites, pollutants and their ecological consequences.

• Medical Medium (Anthony William) / Dr. Shilpa Thakur (Her work shows how health resilience is operationalized, from surveillance to policy design) / Dr. Uwe Gröber. These three are important in the Geo-Resilience Compass because they represent very different but complementary dimensions of health resilience. Medical Medium (Anthony William) represents popular alternative health movements and highlights the social significance of nutrition, detoxification, and psychosocial self-efficacy. Medical Medium (Anthony William): He has reached millions of people worldwide and shows how social narratives about health and nutrition influence resilience. Possible cluster placement: Social & Cultural Health Resilience – he represents the popular dimension of resilience, which creates social legitimacy even if it is not academically substantiated. His inclusion signals that the compass takes social movements seriously and not just classical science.  Dr. Uwe Gröber: Head of the Academy for Micronutrient Medicine, leading expert in orthomolecular medicine and prevention. His research and training in micronutrients, metabolic optimization and prevention are directly relevant to resilience in healthcare (e.g., post-COVID, oncology, diabetology). Biomedical & Preventive Resilience – strengthens the axis of prevention and individual resilience. It shows how complementary medicine and scientifically based prevention can work together. Together, they form a resilience triangle: social narratives – scientific governance – preventive medicine. In doing so, they expand the Geo-Resilience Compass to include the health dimension, which is indispensable for social acceptance and operational effectiveness.

• They are all a selection of hubs in a global network that makes healthcare systems resilient. They connect molecules with people, patients with politics, data with governance. Together, they could show that resilience is not monodisciplinary, but multidimensional, and only becomes legitimate and effective through global, interdisciplinary cooperation: Prof. Eric Chan (NUS Singapore) / Prof. Carmen Scheibenbogen / Prof. Uta Behrends / Prof. Kevin Kavanagh / Prof. Magnus Ingelmann-Sundberg / Prof. Hannelore Daniel / Prof. Robert Murphy / Prof. Jianzhong Wang / Prof. Antonella Bertazzo / Prof. Youssef Daali / Prof. Ram Shankar Upadhayaya / Prof. Henk-Jan-Guchelaar / Prof. Erwin Loh / Prof. Yohannes Hagos / Dr. Maureen Miller /  Prof. David F. Putrino / Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly / Dr. William Wallace / Dr. Eric Topol. What unites all these personalities in the Geo-Resilience Compass is that they operationalize health resilience from different perspectives: from molecular research to clinical practice and public health to governance, digitalization, and social legitimacy. Together, they form a global network of bridge builders who demonstrate how health systems can become resilient — scientifically, technologically, socially and culturally. All stakeholders are working on the question: How can people and systems remain resilient in the face of crises? They cover the entire spectrum: immunology (Scheibenbogen, Behrends), infection control (Kavanagh, Murphy), pharmacogenetics (Ingelmann-Sundberg, Guchelaar, Daali), prevention and nutrition (Daniel, Gröber, Bertazzo, Wallace), public health governance (Loh, Hagos, Miller), digital medicine (Topol, Putrino, Al-Aly), molecular and pharmacology (Chan, Wang, Upadhayaya).

Together, they make your Geo‑Resilience Compass credible and globally representative by linking scientific evidence, governance and practical remediation approaches. This makes it clear that environmental toxicology is not just analysis, but also action science for resilience. They help ensure that the Compass can maintain international standards and political compatibility. Social legitimacy: They demonstrate that environmental and health risks are taken seriously and addressed globally. Their research provides concrete models for risk management, prevention, and remediation and they belong to the field of Environmental Toxicology & Resilience Science — the axis that connects pollutant management and resilience strategies.
• Boban Cekovic CBRNe & HAZMAT Response Architect – operational early warning, detection, and semantic decontamination systems / Prof. Dr. Jeffrey Brodeur (CBRN Consultant / Homeland Security) / Bob Small (Black Swan) CBRNE/HAZMAT & Collapse-Resilient Doctrine. These three experts are united in the Geo-Resilience Compass by the fact that they all embody strategic and operational resilience in dealing with CBRNE/HAZMAT risks. They bring different but complementary perspectives to the table: technical early warning and decontamination (Cekovic), strategic governance and homeland security (Brodeur), and doctrinal approaches to system collapse and anti-fragility (Small). Together, they form the axis “CBRNE & Hazardous Materials Resilience,” which combines operational security, strategic control and systemic adaptability.
• Hélène Grosbois is an ecological systems thinker focusing on biodiversity and chemical risks. In the Geo-Resilience Compass, Hélène Grosbois represents the axis “Biodiversity & Chemical Risks.” She combines ecological system perspectives with the analysis of pollutants and shows how the protection of living organisms and the management of chemical pollution must be considered together in order to ensure global resilience. It works with an ecological systems perspective that integrates biodiversity, agriculture, and chemical risks, and shows that resilience is only possible through networked thinking: biodiversity, soils, water and human health are inextricably linked. Her work La disparition du vivant & moi: comprendre pour changer (2024) highlights the causes of the sixth mass extinction and the need to understand biodiversity as a shield against crises. (9) In this way, it strengthens the social legitimacy of the compass by highlighting biodiversity as a core resource for resilience. For Kompass, this means that contaminated sites, pollutants and pesticides are not only environmental problems, but also resilience risks for societies. Operational added value: It builds a bridge between science, activism, and society, thereby providing concrete options for action to promote ecological and social resilience.

Neuroscience, Nutrition & Systems-Level Innovation

Research on neuroimmunological diseases, micronutrients and systemic transformation

(this is only a selection of examples)

• Dr. Amine Zorgani – The Microbiome Mavericks / Kent Jones – Accessibility & MS Advocacy / Janice Goh – Coffee Simulator / Christoph & Philipp Ströck – WE&ME Stiftung / Daniel Epstein / Andrew Michaelson / Evonne Fouesnant / Dotan Shaniv / Peter Groenen / Miguel Angel Cabrera-Pérez / Luoheng Qin – InSilico Medicine. These example actors together form the axis “Neuroscience, Nutrition & Systems-Level Innovation.” They combine neuroimmunological research, micronutrient medicine, digital simulations, patient advocacy, and AI-supported system transformation. In doing so, they create added value that combines scientific precision with social legitimacy and technological sustainability. They show that resilience requires not only research, but also social participation and advocacy. They provide the biomedical basis for how nutrition and micronutrients strengthen resilience, and they introduce the systemic level: how innovation, AI and governance make health resilient.

These actors are important because they combine neuroscience, nutrition, and system innovation into a resilience ecosystem:

• They demonstrate how health, nutrition, and technology interact.
• They ensure social legitimacy through advocacy and foundations.
• They provide operational models for prevention, therapy and system transformation.

Without them, the Geo-Resilience Compass would be incomplete, as the health and nutrition dimensions and systemic innovation would be missing.

Patient Advocacy, Civil Society & MedTech

Organizations, startups, and movements for patient rights, medtech, and social resilience

(this is only a selection of examples)

• The many valuable patient organizations and associations
• Healthcare providers, pharmacists, biobanks, insurers, MedSafetyWeek organizers
• GNDR – Global Network of Civil Society Organisations for Disaster Reduction
  
• Angel and venture communities / Environmental physicians / Biomedical scientists: Angel and venture communities are important in the Geo‑Resilience Compass because they represent the financial and innovation backbone that enables resilience strategies to move from concept to reality. They provide early‑stage capital, mentorship and networks that allow disruptive solutions in health, environment, and infrastructure to scale, ensuring that resilience is not only a policy vision but an operational reality. Angel investors and venture capitalists are often the first to fund high‑risk, high‑impact ideas. Without their support, many resilience technologies — such as climate analytics, health informatics, or disaster‑response platforms, would remain stuck in research. They accelerate the translation of science into practice, bridging the gap between laboratories and society. Communities like Resilient Earth Capital focus specifically on climate resilience investments, supporting early‑stage enterprises that address urgent challenges such as net‑zero transitions, renewable energy and water management. (16) (17) Angel and venture communities are inherently global and cross‑sectoral. They connect innovators in Bengaluru, Berlin, or Boston with investors in Silicon Valley or Singapore. This multipolar reach ensures that resilience solutions are globally scalable and locally adaptable. By backing social enterprises and health‑focused startups, venture communities give legitimacy to resilience strategies. Their involvement signals that resilience is not only a governmental or academic agenda but also a market‑validated priority.
• Pharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturers (from AbbVie to ViiV Healthcare GmbH)
• MedTech Pharma 
• Dr. Frank Grossmann and his organization OrphanHealthcare are important to the Geo-Resilience Compass because they represent the axis “Rare Diseases & Patient Advocacy.” They bring in the perspective of people affected by rare diseases, create social legitimacy, and show how resilience is also necessary where traditional healthcare systems often fail. Development of the world's first chatbot for rare diseases (“Cubas Academy”), which provides information and guidance to those affected around the clock (10) Projects for education, networking, and advocacy for over 400 million people worldwide who live with rare diseases (11). OrphanHealthcare shows that resilience is not only a technical or medical issue, but also a matter of social responsibility. Families affected by rare diseases are given visibility and a voice. Programs such as “Elfen helfen®” (Elves Help) and the chatbot provide direct support to those affected. This strengthens the resilience of individuals and communities. Use of AI-supported tools and digital platforms for rare diseases. This strengthens the “Semantic Integrity & Health Communication” axis in the compass. OrphanHealthcare operates internationally and connects NGOs, patient groups, and institutions, which makes the Compass multipolar and globally legitimate.

• Disaster Management Strategies for Long COVID, ME/CFS, MCS: Disaster management strategies for Long COVID, ME/CFS, and MCS are essential in your Geo‑Resilience Compass because these conditions represent hidden, chronic disasters at the intersection of health, society, and infrastructure. They demand systemic resilience, early warning and adaptive strategies, just like earthquakes or pandemics — because their impact is widespread, long‑lasting, and socially destabilizing. 

Why these diseases are “disaster-level” challenges

• Extent of impact: Long COVID and ME/CFS affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide
• Chronic vulnerability: These are not acute events, but long-term crises that place a strain on healthcare systems, the economy, and families.
• Invisible disaster: Unlike floods or earthquakes, the damage is hidden in bodies and communities, making it difficult to mobilize resources and gain recognition.
• Multisystemic nature: They affect the immune system, neurology, metabolism, and environmental factors and require interdisciplinary disaster strategies.

Why they belong in the Geo‑Resilience Compass

1. Early Warning Systems

• Monitoring post‑viral syndromes functions like a disaster early warning system.
• Detecting clusters of Long COVID or ME/CFS is comparable to seismic monitoring before an earthquake.

2. Adaptive Infrastructure

• Health systems must adapt through specialized clinics, digital registries, and rehabilitation pathways.
• Resilient infrastructure also includes workplace accommodations, social support, and disability rights.

3. Societal Stabilization

• Without recognition, patients face social exclusion and economic collapse.
• Advocacy groups (e.g., WE&ME Foundation, OrphanHealthcare) stabilize society by providing legitimacy and voice.

4. Semantic Coherence

• Clear, precise communication is essential: distinguishing Long COVID from ME/CFS, MCS, and other syndromes prevents confusion and misinformation.
• Semantic integrity fosters trust in science and governance.

Added value in the Geo-Resilience Compass

• Linking health and disaster management: These diseases show that disasters are not only external events, but also internal, biological, and chronic crises.
• Operational legitimacy: Their involvement ensures that resilience strategies are patient-centered and socially legitimate.
• Multipolar perspective: They connect medicine, advocacy, the environment, and governance, thus embodying the interdisciplinary design of the Compass.

• BAYER / vfa – Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies: In the Geo-Resilience Compass, Bayer embodies the dual reality of modern industry: on the one hand, the company is a global driver of pharmaceutical innovation, with research focusing on oncology, neurology, immunology, and cell/gene therapies. By integrating artificial intelligence, chemoproteomics, and data-driven research, Bayer is creating new opportunities to systematically address complex health risks such as rare diseases and neuroimmunological disorders. This side of the company represents the “Pharma & Translational Innovation” axis, the ability to translate scientific precision into global resilience strategies. At the same time, Bayer bears a historical responsibility as a chemical company whose products – from pesticides to industrial chemicals – have caused significant environmental pollution and biodiversity loss. Glyphosate and other substances exemplify the dark side of industrial production: the generation of pollutants that increase long-term ecological and health risks. This side of the company represents the axis “Environmental Risk & Accountability” – the need to critically engage industry players and make their transformation transparent. (13) (14) (15) 

In the Geo-Resilience Compass, I therefore do not place Bayer in a one-dimensional position, but rather as an ambivalent player that connects both worlds:

• innovation and healing power through research and new therapies.
• Pollutant production and environmental pollution as a challenge for global resilience.

It is precisely this ambivalence that makes Bayer strategically indispensable: only when players with such contradictory pasts and presents are part of the compass can true resilience emerge. Because resilience does not mean ignoring problems, but rather systemically integrating, controlling, and transforming them. This makes Bayer a reflection of modern industrial societies in the Geo-Resilience Compass: a player that both creates risks and develops solutions and whose involvement through innovation, responsibility, and transformation determines whether global resilience succeeds.
