This paper presents a case-study on a system-oriented strategy: strengthening the resilience of the impacted system to climatic changes. A central question in this paper is: what could a resilience approach to climate change adaptation entail for an urban delta?
The paper aims to operationalise the concept of resilience. Similar to the Vancouver study [20], we assessed trends/impacts, de?ned characteristics that make a system resilient, and used these to explore options and to specify and categorise how they can contribute to the system's resilience. These characteristics were intended to support ‘resilience-thinking’.Resilience thinking can be used to as a baseline study to determine possible ways for addressing adaptation challenges.
