This report introduces resilience.io, a computer-based platform, an analysis and decision-support tool, that allows users to accurately model resource flows, for example, energy, food and water, so that regions can manage both their economy and critical supporting ecosystems. It is a tool that allows regions globally to assess their current development path including risks, and map out a more sustainable and resilient trajectory. It is intended for use for planning, investment and policy-making, to embed resilience within regions in the long-term, as opposed to short term incident response management.
The resilience.io platform is currently being developed in a staged programme with an expert team covering fields as diverse as computer modelling, biophysical resources, values-based economics, earth systems, geospatial analytics and computer visualisation.
This report is aimed at any individual or organisation with a role in achieving a more resilient, low-carbon development pathway for city-regions. It will appeal to those with an interest in the development of the resilience.io platform, as well as a wide range of professionals such as chief resilience officers, urban planners, policy makers from global to local, impact investors, practitioners and academics.
