Social resilience during times of crisis

COVID-19 is a devastating example of a crisis which ripples through regions and countries, affecting pretty much all aspects of our lives. Although impacts of the pandemic have hit some communities harder than others, especially in the global south, we are seeing signs of resilience emerging from many affected communities.This episode takes a closer look at some of these communities and how they have responded to this crisis. What can we learn from them and how can we build social resilience for similar events in the future?Albert Norström from Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Global Resilience Partnership unpacks these questions with colleague Cibele Queiroz and Rafael Calderon-Contreras from the Metropolitan Autonomous University in Mexico.More information, including links to mentioned publications: https://rethink.earth/social-resilience-during-times-of-crisis/ Hosted on Acast.
