The landmark report Resilience Science Must-Knows was finally released, distilling decades of research into nine essential insights for decision-makers navigating risk, uncertainty, and transformation.
Developed in the lead-up to COP30 and in response to UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report — which warns of a twelve-fold shortfall in adaptation finance — the report provides a science-based call to action for building just and sustainable futures in an era of compounding crises.
Associate Professor Barnes, Director of the Social Dynamics & Environmental Change Lab, served on the Expert Editorial Board for this global initiative, led by the Stockholm Resilience Centre, the Global Resilience Partnership, and Future Earth.
