The Panarchy framework

The Panarchy framework is a concept used to understand how systems, such as ecosystems or economies, change and evolve over time. It describes a cycle of growth, collapse, and renewal, where systems operate at different scales and levels. Essentially, it emphasizes that change is constant and occurs in interconnected phases, allowing systems to adapt to challenges. The framework highlights the importance of resilience and flexibility, suggesting that systems can learn from past experiences to improve their future development and sustainability. This approach helps explain complex interactions and dynamics within natural and human-made systems.
