Mission
The Stockholm Resilience Centre is a new international centre that advances transdisciplinary research for governance of social-ecological systems with a special emphasis on resilience - the ability to deal with change and continue to develop.
The organization has no registered commitments.
allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.

By casting a systemic lens on vulnerable and fragile contexts, resilience approaches can form an intrinsic part of peacebuilding.
Grounded solutions for agriculture and water use in Africa need to suit the continent’s climate and water availability. This means moving away from large-scale irrigation and infrastructure to smarter ways of capturing rain and improving soil health. Practitioners must adopt new ways of thinking that combine old wisdom with an appropriate level of artificial input.
With destructive disasters occurring over the last several years, social-ecological resilience encourages polycentric governance systems and broad participation from several areas of expertise. By acknowledging that disaster impacts depend on the degradation of ecosystems and social structures, social-ecological resilience offers a multisectoral solution.
A team of scientists has found that even if the carbon emission reductions called for in the Paris Agreement are met, there is a risk of entering “Hothouse Earth” conditions. A “Hothouse Earth” climate will in the long term stabilize at a global average of 4-5°C higher than pre-industrial temperatures with sea levels 10-60 m higher than today.
