Our mission
Resilience is the capacity of a stystem, be it an individual, a forest, a city or an economy, to deal with change and continue to develop. It is about how humans and nature can use shocks and disturbances like a financial crisis or climate change to spur renewal and innovative thinking. Resilience starts from the belief that humans and nature are strongly coupled to the point that they should be conceived as one social-ecological system.
