Strengthening the community resilience movement.
Post Carbon Institute believes that building community resilience is our best response to the looming economic, energy, and environmental challenges of the 21st century. A resilient community is one that can maintain its essential identity while adapting to these and other challenges.
We can build a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable world for all—if we have a true understanding of the nature of the challenges, employ systems and resilience thinking, and act with courage, creativity, humility, and humanity. Post Carbon Institute’s work supports people who want to deepen their thinking and pursue strategies that build community resilience in a sustainable and equitable way.
