Key topics covered:

• Foundations of Resilience: Understanding the capacity of natural and social systems to adapt to shocks and transformations.
• Resilience and Adaptation: Evaluating adaptation strategies in response to climate, economic, and social challenges.
• Endogenous vs. Exogenous Resilience: Community-driven approaches versus the role of public policies in shaping local dynamics.
• Well-Being and Sustainable Development: Integrating individual, collective, and systemic dimensions of well-being in resilience strategies.
• Modeling and Methodologies: Exploring analytical tools and frameworks to assess trade-offs between resilience and well-being.
• Case Studies and Applied Approaches: Examining real-world contexts to better understand the tensions and synergies between resilience and well-being.
