  2. 1. Advancing Resilience Practice : Bridging social-ecological resilience theory and sustainable development practice

    Author : My M. Sellberg; Garry D. Peterson; Albert V. Norström; Sara Borgström; Dirk Roux; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Complex adaptive systems; Local and regional planning; Resilience thinking; Social-ecological systems; Transdisciplinarity; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the application of resilience thinking in different real-world settings and research-practice interfaces, for example in the context of natural resource management, local government planning and food systems. The number of cases of resilience practice are growing, including resilience assessments, planning and action, but there are still few scientific studies and even less synthesis across cases.

    Abstract : Tropical rainforests in the Amazon and Congo River basins and their climate are mutually dependent. Evaporation from these forests help regulate the regional and global water cycle. Furthermore, these rainforests themselves depend on precipitation to sustain their structure and functions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Designing for Resilience : Navigating Change in Service Systems
