“积极主动是恢复力的关键. The time that is taken now to understand the range of hazards and dependencies that could impact a business or community, 在接下来的任何挑战中都是有益的.”
通过拥抱变化并理解不确定性是适应力的自然组成部分, forward-looking preparedness really helps understand potential vulnerabilities and implement mitigations that can minimize the impacts of change, 不管是突然的还是长期的, 并找到改进的机会.
亚当支持弹性规划和变革管理的比例方法. We don’t need to start with huge studies to define risks and their probabilities with great accuracy, 对于未来,我们可以肯定的是,它是不确定的. So Adam suggests starting simple—discuss and workshop around potential hazards and dependencies that could impact a business or location; work out what could be most disruptive. 然后, start with looking into those a little further and better understand how the risk could be mitigated. 通常,一个简单的更改可以减轻潜在的漏洞, 但如果我们不花时间考虑可能的风险范围,就不会发生这种情况.
以他在海岸的背景, and given the extreme challenges that coastal areas are faced with globally due to the impacts of sea level rise and storms, 这是亚当多年来一直关注的领域. 支持过世界各地的项目和计划, 包括伯利兹科罗扎尔地区屡获殊荣的海岸线管理计划, 他带来了丰富的经验,推动长期适应性思维应对沿海挑战.
