rob has done some excellent work introducing the term “resilience” to the sustainability agenda through the transition movement. richard heinberg with typical verve gives a framework for developing a resilience plan which will be very useful for communities less ready to engage with the transition message:
> Transition and Relocalization projects tend to have a hopeful, upbeat, attractive tone, and that is one of their virtues. By contrast, disaster management is a sobering subject. Yet while hopeful visions are good and necessary for motivating communities, the real future that is now unfolding is one of crisis heaped upon crisis. Effective response strategies must respond to the facts, however unattractive they may be from a marketing standpoint. The Resilient Communities strategy faces harsh reality and makes the best of it by using it strategically.
