Breaking silos for Mediterranean landscape resilience: lessons from ResAlliance

Resilience is more than a buzzword—it’s a shared responsibility. Explore the insights gained, the 120 good practices tackling natural disturbances, and the policy recommendations that will help to shape the future of Mediterranean farms and forests.

The ResAlliance project has come to an end after three years of work across the Mediterranean. It has been a journey that 16 partners have travelled together, and in some stretches it has not been easy. Now that the word “resilience” is in vogue, over these three years we have experienced what makes it so difficult to apply. Creating landscapes that are resilient to the disturbances influenced by climate change does not depend on a single person, association, company, ministry or government agency. Achieving resilient landscapes requires the collaboration and coordination of multiple entities at different levels.

Over the past year, the ResAlliance project has been building up collaboration across the Mediterranean, bringing together individuals committed to protecting forests, agricultural lands and rural landscapes. Through a series of interactive in-person and virtual information sessions, land managers, researchers and policy-makers have come together to explore a common goal: creating landscapes that can adapt to and are resilient to a changing climate.
