Resilience in the times of COVID: what the response to the COVID pandemic teaches us about resilience principles

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This paper explores the resilience principles that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic, leveraging a survey of 61 strategies employed by members of the Resilience Alliance. The findings reveal that effective management of connectivity, feedbacks, and learning were crucial in navigating the initial crisis. In contrast, principles such as diversity, redundancy, and polycentric governance became vital for recovery in the aftermath. The study emphasizes the importance of maintaining a systems perspective and adaptive management practices during both crises and normal times, thereby contributing empirical insights to the field of resilience thinking.
