Risk and Resilience

Risk refers to the likelihood of experiencing harm or loss due to specific hazards or uncertainties. Resilience is the ability to adapt, recover, and continue functioning effectively after facing such challenges. Together, they shape how individuals, communities, or systems manage threats—while risk highlights potential vulnerabilities, resilience emphasizes strengths and capacity to bounce back. Building resilience doesn’t eliminate risk but helps reduce its impact and speeds recovery, enhancing overall stability and well-being despite uncertainties.
