About Resilient Regions

The impacts of climate change involve slow-onset changes, extreme events and increasing systemic risks. Some regions of Europe are particularly exposed to these impacts due to the make-up of their landscapes, economies and societies.

A systems innovation approach to forging resilience in these regions creates a transformative impact by shifting regions’ hazard-by-hazard risk reduction practices to a state where people, communities, and systems are able to withstand and bounce back from shocks, to persist through slow-onset stresses and to transform through crises.

Early partners include regional governments in Andalusia (Spain), Nouvelle-Aquitaine (France), the Dolomites (Italy) and Glasgow city region (Scotland).
