"Understanding the Resilience of Social-Ecological Systems"

"Understanding the Resilience of Social-Ecological Systems" explores how communities and natural environments interact and adapt to change or shocks, like climate events or economic shifts. Resilience refers to a system’s ability to withstand disturbances while maintaining its essential functions. This concept helps us identify factors that strengthen or weaken these systems, guiding us to make better decisions for sustainable management. By studying resilience, we can improve our capacity to navigate uncertainty, protect ecosystems, and ensure that both human societies and nature can thrive now and in the future.
