Resiliencia socio-ecológica ante el cambio ambiental global en territorios heterogéneos – construyendo una plataforma común para investigación y acción

The project addresses the lack of empirical work on the links between social and ecological resilience in heterogeneous territories experiencing rapid transformation. By conducting multi-stakeholder workshops in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia, the project co-designed research questions and developed a comparative territorial baseline using economic, social, and geographic variables. Preliminary conceptual reviews indicate a lack of clear definitions and links between ecological and social resilience in existing literature.

• Existing literature on seasonally dry tropical forests in South America is fragmented, often focusing separately on adaptation or vulnerability and applying solutions exclusively to either natural or social sciences. There is a specific lack of empirical research regarding the connections between social resilience, ecological resilience, vulnerability, and adaptive capacity in territories characterized by environmental and social heterogeneity, conflict, and rapid transformation.
• The project established a shared platform for research and action by engaging a network of stakeholders—ranging from civil society to national government—through multi-stakeholder workshops in four specific locations: Chancaní and Copo in Argentina, Pontal do Paranapanema in Brazil, and Montes de María in Colombia. These workshops identified common interests and problems, resulting in a set of core questions intended to seed future large-scale interdisciplinary initiatives.
• Preliminary conceptual analysis of publications on ecological and social resilience suggests that there is no clear definition or established link between these two concepts in the literature, particularly within empirical articles.
• The project developed a comparative territorial baseline for the studied regions, providing a comprehensive description based on geographic, social, and economic variables to help stakeholders understand similarities and heterogeneities between the territories. Additionally, a climate report for Copo and Chancaní in Argentina was completed.
