The report will inform UN agencies, governments, civil society, and businesses to build resilience to safeguard the planet.<\/h5>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Climate change, biodiversity loss, pandemics and conflicts are leading to unprecedented costs for economies, societies and the planet, threatening the future of humanity. In this new global crisis landscape, practicing resilience is critical to manage high uncertainty and turbulence. But in most cases, resilience is used as a general attribute for recovery or as a path to \u2018bounce back\u2019 as fast as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Climate Week NYC 2024, Stockholm Resilience Centre, Global Resilience Partnership and Future Earth, announce a new initiative between science and policy with the ambition to integrate resilience science in decision-making and governance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first outcome of the science-policy initiative will be presented at COP30 in Brazil in 2025. The \u201cKey Must-Knows in Resilience Science\u201d\u00a0 report will be complemented and informed by a series of policy dialogues to better understand practical challenges and ways of operationalizing resilience in various contexts, called \u201cRoad to Brazil COP30\u201d.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cResilience is the superpower of our Biosphere, that support societies to deal with climate impacts in ways that make it possible to thrive within the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/sciadv.adh2458\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Planetary Boundaries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
