Abstract: Policy advice for dealing with the Corona Crisis has been focusing on two major concepts: resilience and sustainability. The paper explores the relationship between the two terms, illustrates the various concepts that are associated with each term, and suggests an integrative approach that is based on the ideal of maintaining critical services for reaching humane living conditions for present and future generations based on fair distribution rules and inclusive governance processes.
