" perspective piece published in Nature Climate Change you requested, which argues that resilience can be useful for linking the post 2015 frameworks if given a stronger normative steer, arguing that:

-          Resilience should reflect understandings of assets, freedoms and capabilities that are fundamental to human development and livelihoods thinking,

-          We must work with the ongoing dynamic processes of social transformations when building resilience, rather than assume resilience means maintenance of the prevailing conditions.
