The Resilience Shift

The Resilience Shift exists to inspire and empower a global community to make the world safer through resilient infrastructure. Through a range of initiatives, we want to motivate communities to build social, physical and natural systems that save lives and improve livelihoods, protect the environment, and strengthen markets. The Resilience Shift’s approach is through learning by doing in collaboration with others, as well as by sharing knowledge and fostering a global community, to create value for those we are seeking to influence – maximising the positive impact for society. We focus on tools and approaches to put this shift in resilience thinking into practice, identifying the drivers and enablers for infrastructure resilience, and advancing a common understanding of resilient systems, within and between critical infrastructure sectors.
