A new global non-profit consortium called Resilience Rising is launching to bring systemic change through collaboration. It will address the challenges standing in the way of the big, transformative changes we need to secure a more resilient and prosperous future.
Tapping into creative capabilities and thinking differently are critical for civil engineers to make a meaningful input to the climate crisis, according to The Resilience Shift CEO Seth Schultz, presenting his final lecture in the ICE’s Brunel Lecture series.
Working with the UNFCCC Climate Champions, Future Stewards has created a set of practical approaches and examples that offer some key approaches to systems change and act as an entry point to the rich set of futures and systems tools that are available.
Savina Carluccio, ICSI Programme Director, and Resilience Shift Head of Guidance, Tools and Standards, contributes to this piece in Civil Engineering on the unintended vulnerabilities and dependencies in infrastructure that can undermine its resilience.
Register now to hear Seth Schultz deliver the Institution of Civil Engineers’ closing Brunel Lecture (17/1), reflecting on his year-long journey with ICE President, Ed McCann, and on how the engineering community can deliver a carbon-neutral and resilient society.

The COP Resilience Hub Synthesis Report, published today, brings together what was learned from the events and activities at the COP Resilience Hub which ran as part of CO26 in Glasgow, and was the first Resilience Hub at a COP meeting.
On 3 Nov 2021, the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI), of which The Resilience Shift is a Founding Member, hosted a roundtable discussion at the COP26 Wood House in Glasgow. The discussion focussed on issues at the heart of ICSI, and the engineering community’s role in bridging the gaps on climate, sustainability, and resilience for infrastructure. The event brought together key stakeholders in the sector, including ICSI’s Board members, and invited members of the public to join us in exploring the topic at hand.
As the Resilience Realized awards programme opens for entries, we’re excited to introduce the esteemed panel of judges that will be reviewing the submitted work.
