This report states that community resilience is built primarily through relationships, not just between members of the community but also between organisations, specifically between the voluntary sector, the local economy and the public sector. The report emphasises the role of local institutions in ensuring necessary resources and influencing the ability of communities to be resilient. Also, in times of austerity and recession, it questions the role of voluntary sector organisations in building resilience in communities.

This text looks at resilience in relation with the transition movement. Resilience is understood not only as an outer process, but also as an inner one, a process of becoming more flexible, robust and skilled, which should take place with every member of a community. It states the need for radical community transformation in order to fulfill the process of transition to a resilient society.

Resilience can be achieved through co-production, opening up possibilities for learning and cross-institutional collaboration between academia, policy making and the civic sector, challenging power structures. This article shows how the multi-stakeholder engagement in co-producing resilience has to be rooted in a political ecology standpoint, and requires ideas, tools, space, time and agency if it is to succeed.
