About

Climate resilience is the academic concept and research field investigating the capacity of interconnected systems (social, ecological, economic, infrastructural) to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and recover from climate change impacts. This field analyzes the dynamics of vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and transformative potential within these systems, seeking to understand how they can maintain essential functions, structures, and identity while managing climate-related shocks and stresses. Its significance lies in informing strategies for risk reduction, sustainable development, and effective climate change adaptation across diverse scales and sectors.
