CEM Wrap Up: Quick Resilience Primer Mike Jones Resilience Alliance Connectors Program
ChangeModels for Understanding Change 1. Change within systems: Adaptive Cycle (Holling 2004) 3. Transitions betweensystem states: Ball and Basin (Scheffer et al., 2001) 2. Interactions between systems: Panarchy (Holling 2004)
RiskMeasuring Resilience Coarser scale • Latitude (L): the maximum amount a system can be changed before losing its ability to recover. • Resistance (R): ease or difficulty of changing the system. • Precariousness (Pr): current trajectory - how close the system is to a ‘threshold’ • Panarchy (Pa): influence on the focal scale from scales above and below Pr Focal scale L R Finer scale Graphic from Walker, Holling, Carpenter & Kinzig (2004) • The operational definition of resilience of what (the defined system) to what (the defined disturbance)
Stewardship Rural Stewards Influenced by interactions with policies of government & other actors
Resilience:A Simple Assessment of General Resilience Attributes Related to Potential for Change Diversity Ecological variability Social capital (trust, leadership, networks) Innovation Openness System reserves Equity Humility Slow variables Attributes Related to Connectedness & Cross-scale Interaction Modularity Tight feedbacks Overlap in governance Ecosystem services are valued Equity Openness
Next Steps • A proposal for your consideration: • Create a resilience working group within CEM that is linked to secretariat • Address issues of policy and law • Support learning by doing for capacity building • Build cross commission networks as necessary
