Decision-making for resilience requires innovation. We need to tackle ingrained challenges and ‘path dependencies’ where previous decisions may limit our options to address future problems. To make progress on issues such as planned retreat and climate adaptation we need a greater understanding of how research can support policy and decision-making for systematic change and transformation.
Resilience to Nature’s Challenge’s ‘De-risking Resilience’ programme included a cluster of research projects focused on understanding real-world decision-making difficulties, while also testing strategies to ‘de-risk’ putting resilience science into practice and outcomes.
In this webinar our team will share findings from two key streams of research: understanding policy making for systemic change and transformation, and trialing safe innovation spaces for resilience decision-making at the science-policy interface. Topics will include crisis policy-making during the covid-19 recovery, the cross-sector politics of climate adaptation, the role of policy experimentation in the evolution of managed retreats, and insights from trialing safe innovative spaces for decision-making.
