The subject of resilience has gained increasing attention across a range of contexts and fields of application over the last decade, to include infrastructure, climate change, natural hazards, cyber security, public health, personal health and wellbeing, supply chains, and social and/or community resilience.  The Resilient Futures Podcast explores the nature, characteristics, and factors contributing to the resilience of systems.  The role of nature in supporting system resilience will be one of multiple foundational themes which will also include systems thinking, interdisciplinarity, integrative solutions, etc., and fostering ideas across sectors and perspectives.

Hosted by Alysha Helmrich and Todd Bridges.
