When you understand the converging crises of the 21st century, it’s important to find constructive ways to respond. Although we can’t provide an exhaustive list of actions, we do have five suggestions that are especially applicable if you’ve taken the Think Resilience course and gained systemic knowledge of energy, the globalized economy, and their effects on human society and the environment. If you haven’t taken the course, please do that first, but then scroll down to explore options for building resilience in yourself, your household, and especially your community.
Ways to Take Action
Gather friends and neighbors and lead a Think Resilience discussion course. As a Think Resilience participant, you can register your own discussion course, which takes your group through the course in seven 90-minute sessions while providing summaries of each of the 22 lessons, questions to discuss in each session, and discussion facilitation guidelines.

Conduct a resilience assessment to map vulnerabilities and opportunities in your community. Starting with an assessment is important not merely for informing an action plan; rather, it’s for identifying the most essential information needed for community resilience building. Let us introduce you to some examples of how to go about assessing an urban community. TAKE THIS ACTION.
