WHAT IS RESILIENCE?

Resilience is the ability for individuals, communities and systems to survive, adapt and grow in spite of stresses and shocks. From the impacts of climate change, to an influx of refugees, cities across the MENA face a growing number of environmental, social and economic challenges, which each bring change and uncertainty. Building resilience requires a forward-thinking, interdisciplinary and proactive approach to preventing and reducing the effects of inevitable challenges, rather than dealing with the aftermath of these stresses later.
