Topic: Community resilience

Community resilience is the ability of a community to withstand, adapt, and recover from adversity, whether natural disasters, economic shocks, or social upheaval.

More on: Community resilience

The podcast episodes explore the concept of community resilience through various lenses, including responses to natural disasters, climate change impacts, and community-driven initiatives.

Several episodes highlight how communities have come together to overcome challenges, adapt to changing circumstances, and build sustainable solutions. For example, the episode 'How 2016 looms over the wildfires in Fort McMurray today' examines the resilience of Fort McMurray residents in the face of recurring wildfires, while 'New Generational Wealth in Detroit' showcases how the Detroit Community Wealth Fund is fostering community-controlled economic development.

Other episodes, such as 'Lesson 5: Embrace Your Allies' and 'Lesson 7: Do It Again' from the 'Broken Ground' podcast, illustrate the determination and resourcefulness of local communities in fighting against environmental injustices.

The importance of building community resilience, particularly in the face of climate change and other systemic challenges, is a central theme across many of the podcast episodes.
