Stories of Resilience is a signature program of The Resilience Institute which brings people together to explore the meaning of resilience in the context of climate risks that matter most to them — both locally and globally.
Together, this collection of stories is building a powerful testament to our shared understanding of the climate crisis. Audiences see, hear, and feel reflections of themselves in the narratives and artwork, finding echoes of their own lives in communities like theirs.
