The Problems With Resilience and Transformation in Climate Change

Climate change is here and now cities and communities must adapt for safety, health and quality of life. In this episode I discuss a useful model for thinking about climate adaptation in three levels: resilience,  transition and transformation.

I also provide some examples and ideas for bringing adaptation thinking into the work of urbanists.

#59: Why cities need Transformational Adaptation and what it could mean for urban ecosystems

Bibliography
The ideas in this episode were largely inspired by the book Adaptation to Climate Change by Mark Pelling.
