Weaving resilience: Collaboration as the fabric of transformational adaptation
This thought leadership piece draws on Regen Labs’ research for the NSW Government to explore how connection, trust and shared purpose enable communities and businesses to move from reactive resilience to regenerative transformation. It highlights five forms of ‘soft infrastructure’ that help regions coordinate action and sustain momentum, and shows why investing in relationships is as essential to climate adaptation as investing in roads, energy or data networks.
