Ecosystems of Resilience Practices: Contributions for Sustainability and Climate Change Adaptation delves into the realm of resilience in action, offering comprehensive approaches, perspectives, toolboxes, and theoretical discourses to enhance and improve territorial and community resilience practices toward sustainability and climate change mitigation/adaptation. This groundbreaking book develops a comprehensive set of tools and design criteria to facilitate the widespread dissemination of resilience practices. By leveraging this toolset, resilience practices can be expanded, reinforced, and integrated into solutions addressing climate change.

The book is organized into three sections:

Section One explores the potential contribution of this resilience approach to achieving sustainable development goals, particularly in the context of climate change. It also addresses other environmental challenges, such as the resilience of ecosystems in the face of climate change. Chapters dedicated to exploring the issues of governance in territorial transformation processes are included.

Section Two focuses on characterizing the eco-systems of resilience practices, including discussions on international networking of transition initiatives.

Section Three presents operational guidelines, instruments, and proposals to stabilize, nurture, and scale resilience practices, aiming to enhance their effective and consistent contribution to achieving sustainability, adaptation goals, and scenarios at local and global scales.

Through its comprehensive coverage, Ecosystems of Resilience Practices provides valuable insights and practical tools for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to build resilience and adapt to the challenges posed by sustainability and climate change.
