This month the Ecovillage Resilience community of practice is starting to develop a new tool for all kinds of local communities to understand, track, and nurture their resilience.
The tool will be a mix of what we’re learning about resilience from our network and the latest research into attributes of resilience in all kinds of systems. To take a look at some of the background research, explore the resources below. The tool will be ready and available for everyone to use at the start of 2024.
