Contributing to Global Guidance on Resilience Science

June 2025

In June, Associate Professor Michele Barnes had the privilege of traveling to Stockholm to take part in the Resilience Science Must-Knows workshop – a global initiative designed to bridge the gap between resilience research and real-world decision-making.

Led by the Global Resilience Partnership, the Stockholm Resilience Centre, and Future Earth, this initiative brings together researchers and practitioners from across disciplines and regions to co-develop a set of clear, science-backed “must-knows” to support actionable resilience strategies.

As a member of the editorial board, Michele is working with an incredible team to synthesize cutting-edge knowledge and identify priorities that can guide policy, planning, and practice in a time of compounding global crises.

This effort:

  • Identifies key knowledge gaps and emerging priorities.
  • Translates resilience science into practical, decision-ready insights.
  • Connects a global network of experts, institutions, and change agents.

We are excited about the potential this work holds for supporting system-wide transformation toward a more just and resilient future. Stay tuned!
