Centre researcher Lisen Schultz has together with Ryan Plummer (Centre Senior Fellow and Brock University) and Samantha Purdy (Brock University) in Canada developed a new workbook which describes a method for social-ecological inventories (SEI). The social-ecological inventory workbook
(pdf, 570 kB) helps identify the actors that potentially contributes to the resilience of a region.
"The inventory method serves as a preparation and supplement to a more elaborative resilience assessment. This preparation is of mutual benefit to you as a facilitator or a convener, and to the participants: The convener gets pre-understanding of the key actors in a region and what they would bring to the table, and the participants get a pre-understanding of what to expect from engaging in the resilience assessment," Lisen Schultz explains.
