Why Collective Resilience
The challenges we face today are too vast, too complex and too interconnected, locally and globally, for any single person, organisation or country to solve alone.

Resilience flows across expanding circles: an individual’s capacity to adapt affects their team’s performance, which influences their organization’s response, which shapes their community’s wellbeing, which impacts global systems. When we strengthen one level, we strengthen them all.
Connected networks but not over-entangled
Distributed power and resources
Innovation and redundancy
Inclusive participation
Learning and re-learning
Coping, adapting, transforming
Futures literacy and new imaginaries
Foresight and preparation
Equitable distribution of benefits/burdens
Self-determination and agency
We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
