"The release of USAID's updated policy on resilience and World Vision’s multi-sectoral resilience framework cannot be more timely.... We welcome the conceptual multi-sectoral resilience framework that World Vision is putting forward reaffirming the key components of resilience and highlighting elements of process, mindset, and capacity." Jocelyn G. Brown Hall, FAO, during her keynote at World Vision’s Road to Resilience webinar    World Vision's new framework reinforces key resilience components and focuses on transformative processes. By emphasizing a comprehensive understanding of resilience, the framework addresses the complexities of modern vulnerabilities, integrating process, mindset, and capacity to build robust systems capable of withstanding shocks and stresses. Learn more about how these principles can transform resilience efforts, drive sustainable change, and enhance your work in resilience and sustainable development: https://lnkd.in/e5rQffVf    Thank you, Jocelyn, for your keynote at our Road to Resilience Webinar last week. Your insights greatly enriched the discussion and the release of our new framework.     #resilientsystems #Sustainability #Development #SustainableDevelopment #MultisectoralResilience  

There are many lens with which to assess individual, community, and national resilience. This week, the focus is on how private-public partnerships can continue to enable, advance, and optimize resilience efforts across sectors and geographies. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation kicked off the 13th Annual Building Resilience Conference with impressive panels and working sessions of technical experts, government and private sector leaders, advocates and philanthropists, and researchers, including Justin Ángel Knighten, Victoria Salinas, and Thomas S.! With billion dollar disasters hitting 25 in 2023, private-public partnerships are critical for more effective response, recovery, preparedness, and resilience efforts. The key themes that emerged today included: 1 - Building trust by investing early and reinvesting in relationships regularly. 2 - Adapting to risks by continually assessing risks and threats, planning and implementing solutions, and evaluating the impact at the individual, local, regional, and national level. 3 - Shifting focus from individual to community-based projects and investments. 4 - Improving equitable outcomes for all communities, especially those that need it the most, by indexing on low-to-no cost solutions. 5 - Communicating with impact by facilitating access to information, resources, and other support in a coordinated way. #resilience #resilientfutures

This week Arthur D. Little Partner Alexander Buirski took part in a press conference at the World Governments Summit for the launch of the report “Transforming National Resilience Systems for Future Generations.” Emphasizing the importance of strong national resilience, the report identified the global top 20 highest severity risks to Nations, and estimated the global socio-economic value at risk (or “VAR”) at up to USD $30 trillion over the next two decades. In the past century, reported instances of disasters and national crises have increased over 50 times. The last five decades have seen major disasters become more frequent, complex, and severe, impacting nations profoundly, and there is no indication of a slowdown. To be prepared, Alexander says national leaders must evolve their resilience policies and investment programs towards the development of an integrated ‘National Resilience System,’ that can meet the challenges of today and risks of tomorrow. This approach when focused on individuals and community’s needs, will inspire a culture of resilience within citizens, society, and the wider economy - for the benefit of both current and future generations. #WGS24 #WGS #Risk

Please consider attending one of the four sessions FEMA is hosting in May (7th, 9th, 14th, and 15th). At these sessions, FEMA will provide an overview of the draft National Resilience Guidance and will include facilitated discussion with stakeholders to gather feedback. They are specifically looking for case studies that can be included in the guidance. Learn more about and download the draft National Resilience Guidance, download a Feedback Form, and register for one of the sessions here ➡ https://lnkd.in/e3DbG7ge #ResilientCommunities #ResilientNation #ResilientVirginia

Perusing April's draft National Resilience Guidance from FEMA, I wanted to highlight a handy resource included within the document. That resource is the Resilience Maturity Model. The Model, as you will see, illustrates stages in the evolution of a community’s approach to resilience. The intended audience is community actors, but I think it holds just as well for organisations and entities, illustrating how their actions can increase resilience over time.   For more, see the Maturity Model: here: #teamnoggin #fema #nationalresilience #resiliencematurity

Looking forward to participating in the Ivey Academy livestream "Building System Resilience to Future Risk" this Wednesday at noon EDT. Increasing systemic risks like cyber attacks and extreme weather events threaten organizations, communities, and societies. It's increasingly important for leaders to think about how to proactively build organizational and community resilience. Register for this free event below. #systemresilience #riskmanagement #systemicrisk #organizationalresilience #cybersecurity #climatechange #riskgovernance

FEMA has released the new draft National Resilience Guidance for a 30-day public comment period. This new guidance highlights the interdependence required to build resilience including climate, ecosystem, social, economic, infrastructure, and disaster resilience. 

Join us on Wednesday, April 10 at noon for a livestream where we will explore the importance of building resilience on organizational, community, and societal levels. Together, Laurel C. Austin, Jennifer Lynch, and Doug Westlund will discuss the impacts of collaborative relationship-building and future-oriented policy across multiple sectors to create a more resilient system where organizations and communities are better prepared to withstand future risks. #systemreslience #Businessresilience #RiskManagement #learninganddevelopment #crisisleadership

We are living through an unprecedented increase in severe weather events. To meet this moment, we need to break away from the rinse and repeat of disaster response and recovery. Only through intentional, thoughtful planning and investments will we create resilient communities in the face of the extreme weather events of today and the future. Deanne Criswell US Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator. FEMA Funds are allocated to projects in 55 states and territories and 34 tribal nations, enabling resilience efforts on a truly national scale. – Nearly $4 billion has already been allocated to over 1,000 applications, with $2.3 billion for over 400 projects in the 2022 financial year (FY22). – A significant portion of the FY22 funds will benefit disadvantaged communities. – https://bityl.co/OCfZ
