Chapter 1 in From Risk to Resilience, 2026, pp 1-17 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter situates climate volatility within a broader era of compounding systemic disruption, including geopolitical instability, technological acceleration, supply chain fragility, and institutional strain. It argues that traditional risk models are structurally misaligned with environments characterized by persistent uncertainty and nonlinear shock interaction. Rather than treating climate risk as episodic, the chapter frames it as a catalyst exposing deeper governance vulnerabilities. The introduction establishes the central thesis of the book: that resilience must be reframed as a measurable institutional condition capable of sustaining functional integrity over time. It introduces the need for Decision-Grade Resilience architectures that move beyond descriptive risk assessment toward governance-embedded durability and capital relevance.
