Turning plans into actions: Assessing specificity of actions as a step towards more actionable regional resilience plans
Regional-scale climate and drought planning can increase resilience and adaptation outcomes in regions. Yet the under-specification of plans’ actions represents a barrier to implementation and impact. This paper presents a novel “Specificity of Actions” (SoA) analysis; a flexible evaluative instrument for appraising actions in regional planning documents. Prototyped on 15 Australian drought resilience plans, the SoA analysis represents a useful c…
How Program‐ and Community‐Led Design Settings Affect Resilience Approaches to Sustainable Development Projects
Sustainable Development interventions must deal with rapid and novel changes affecting complex social‐ecological systems, calling for design based on a resilience approach. However, limited analytical attention has been paid to the design settings in which such approaches are deployed. Through two intensive applications of an exemplar resilience tool, we explore its effectiveness in different design settings : a national food security project des…
The transformation-mainstreaming conundrum: Making sense of tensions in adaptation practice
As the scale of climate change impacts become apparent, organisations globally are seeking to adapt. They face dual imperatives of transformation—going beyond business-as-usual to embrace disruptive changes to their decision-making processes—and mainstreaming—enacting adaptation initiatives with minimal change to existing capabilities and structures. In practice, these important imperatives can conflict, leading to the emergence of multiple tensi…
Going back to what really held us together: Re-adaptation as resilience in the Torres Strait Islands, Australia
In the Torres Strait Islands (TSI), Indigenous Australian communities are negotiating the challenge of maintaining their identities and cultures in the face of rapid change. These identities and cultures are seen as vital to the region’s resilience, and yet to be resilient may mean making difficult choices about change, specifying which aspects need changing, under what conditions, and by and for whom. TSI communities have a long history of conce…
A method for benchmarking two different resilience assessment methods
Assessments of objective and subjective resilience are the main methods for understanding disaster preparedness and developing policy responses. However, the two assessment outcomes are not directly comparable. A model combining objective and subjective resilience assessments provides a better approximation of the underlying resilience. Building on previous comparisons, we have developed a robust Bayesian hierarchical model for comparing and link…
