The 'Resilience Science Must-Knows' report, a collaboration between the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Global Resilience Partnership, and Future Earth, distills decades of resilience science into nine broad, actionable principles designed for decision-makers across various sectors and scales to help societies cope, adapt, and transform amid increasing global volatility.

A briefing by the Stockholm Environment Institute arguing that climate adaptation should be reframed as a global shared responsibility rather than a local challenge, specifically to address transboundary and cascading climate risks.

This briefing by the Stockholm Environment Institute argues that multilateral adaptation finance largely treats climate risk as a local phenomenon, failing to address transboundary and 'teleconnected' risks that cross borders through trade, financial flows, and shared ecosystems. The authors propose a shift toward 'systemic resilience'—interventions focusing on whole systems rather than individual countries—to deliver shared benefits for both recipient and contributor nations.

This fact sheet outlines nine 'Must-Knows' of resilience science intended for decision-makers and policy implementers to promote systemic resilience. It defines resilience as the ability to live and thrive amidst change and uncertainty through coping, adaptation, and transformation, emphasizing that human prosperity depends on the stability of the Earth system.
