Resilience: Directions for an Uncertain Future Following the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Abstract The concept of resilience is multi‐faceted. This commentary builds upon the analytical distinctions of resilience provided by Urquiza et al. (2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2020EF001508). In response to this article, we emphasize several distinctions between resilience and other systems conc...
