Resilience scan, April-June 2017: A review of literature, debates and blogs on resilience

This Resilience Scan summarises writing and debates in the field of resilience during the second quarter of 2017. It comprises an 'expert view' on some of the emerging issues for transboundary adaptation, an analysis of blogs from the past six months, and summaries of high-impact grey literature and academic journal articles. The final chapter synthesises the insights from literature in terms of five characteristics of resilience: awareness, diversity, self-regulation, integration and adaptiveness. 

It aims to encourage a global discourse on how the Rio Conventions, such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, can serve as a platform for enhancing work on transboundary adaptation.
