Dr. John Handmer
RMIT University, Australia

A Typology of Resilience:
Rethinking Institutions for Sustainable Development

Date:  June 3, 2015
Time:  17:00-19:00
PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE
Location:  TC. 4.15

"Under the general rubric of sustainability, societies are now struggling with the reconciliation of the demands of human systems and the health and continuation of the biosphere that supports them. Fundamental to coping with this challenge is the creation of decision-making and management approaches that possess an ability to operate in the face of pervasive risk and uncertainty. In searching for clues to ways in which to meet the challenge, it would make sense to look to areas of human experience where change and the interaction of human and natural systems have been addressed before."
                                                    Handmer, J. W., & Dovers, S. R. (1996). A typology of resilience:
