On Resilience - A Capacity to Absorb Disturbances and Shocks

Explore the concept of resilience and its significance in the context of climate change, particularly for Indigenous communities, in this thought-provoking lecture by Dr. Margaret Redsteer. Delve into the factors that define resilience and examine why tribal communities, despite their inherent resilience, are highly vulnerable to climate change impacts. Learn from Dr. Redsteer's extensive experience working with local Indigenous communities on climate adaptation strategies, and gain insights into often-overlooked aspects of the challenges we face. Discover how Indigenous knowledge from tribal elders contributes to understanding the effects of increasing temperatures in poorly monitored regions. Engage with a critical discussion on the intersection of environmental changes, Indigenous perspectives, and the livelihoods of vulnerable populations in this first installment of the Tanner Lectures series on "Climate Futures and Structural Paradigms."
