Climate Resilience in Cuba

In May 2019 and February 2020, I traveled with Ecothropic to eastern Cuba, and I learned more in those two trips than in 20 years of research. I have spent most of my professional career researching and reading about resilience - what does it mean? what does it look like? - how is it related to climate change adaptation? These questions have guided a lot of my professional work for nearly the past two decades. The trip to Cuba, the people we met, and the stories we heard defined resilience in a way that no peer-reviewed journal article or conference proceedings has been able to capture. For me, I learned what resilience IS. I witnessed it. I felt it. Now, I know what resilience is, because of my experience on the Cuba trip. Thank you Britt for this mind-expanding learning adventure!
