How To Create Resilience for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth
Resilience in the 21st century requires us to meticulously prepare for any contingencies of our increasingly complex world. It is not enough to be reactive. At any moment, institutions, communities, and countries are affected by multiple crises and consequences at all stages — simultaneously. COVID-19 began as a public health issue, quickly growing to encompass and drive a myriad of global social and economic issues. Communities are still reeling from the deaths and infrastructure overhaul brought on by a world afflicted by the pandemic. With little notice, another crisis spread its reach across the world. The Russian invasion of Ukraine overlapped with many pandemic-inspired issues — making many things worse for millions. Resilience, as a philosophy, would not just react to these issues as they appear but use the opportunity to build back strength — hopeful for the better.
