Working Group Resilient Communities

Knowledge developed within citizen movements such as ecovillages offers insights into how communities can strengthen their resilience to climate change and foster biodiversity. By sharing this knowledge with other communities, they can serve as examples for building a society with a positive impact.

Communities such as neighbourhoods, districts or small villages that want to actively strengthen their resilience can join the Resilient Communities working group. Around the world, ecovillages have collaborated to understand how communities can increase their resilience, for example to prepare for climate change. Good examples can be found at Ecovillage Resilience Research.

The working group aims to make this accumulated knowledge easily accessible and applicable. Earlier, tools were developed such as the Resilience Tracker and an emergency radio that works even when the power is out. The working group also offers knowledge on enhancing biodiversity. Together with citizens, policymakers, researchers, creative thinkers and makers, the working group aims to explore how this knowledge can be brought into practice more effectively and more rapidly within the KIN Pact.
