Vulnerability and Resilience

Vulnerability refers to a weakness or situation that makes someone or something more susceptible to harm or damage. Resilience, on the other hand, is the ability to recover, adapt, or bounce back after facing challenges or setbacks. Think of vulnerability as the cracks in a foundation that can lead to problems, while resilience is the strength of the structure to withstand or repair those cracks. Together, they influence how well individuals, communities, or systems can deal with difficulties and recover from them effectively.
