Georgina Mace, the chairwoman of the Royal Society’s working group on resilience to extreme weather, has said that there are still many challenges for those trying to create effective disaster-resilience policies.
In a post on the Royal Society’s science policy blog on 25 January, Mace, a professor of biodiversity and ecosystems at University College London, outlined the impact of the society’s Resilience to Extreme Weather report, which was published a year ago.
Mace said that there had been much more clarity of thinking about the concept of resilience in science and policy discussions since the report was published.
