This month's TMB discusses 'whole-of-society resilience’ and presents a definition of it from the National Consortium for Societal Resilience [UK+]. They write how there may not be one single definition of whole-of-society resilience because different definitions will be needed to amplify the priorities of different audiences within society. The definition we provide is from the perspective of local resilience partnerships and sector partners. We link to Issue 44 where we wrote about ‘Understanding ‘whole-of-society’ resilience’.

The purpose of the NCSR+ working definition of whole-of- society resilience is to help NCSR+ partners to coalesce around a shared view for the common pursuit that unites the consortium. The purpose of the NCSR+ working definition is to begin to work with the concept and uncover more about what whole-of- society resilience means in order to understand how it can be communicated, developed, and operationalised across society. The working definition helps NCSR+ to explore its nature, opportunities, and challenges and to understand what should be added or removed to make the definition more useful.
