Coronavirus is a huge test of resilience for our modern society. What is the capacity of our socio-economic system to bounce back, adapt and transform under this period of stress and disturbance? I met Albert Norström from the Stockholm Resilience Center a few weeks before the Coronavirus outbreak in Europe. Still his thoughts have peculiar resonnance now that we are more and more to be confined in our homes. Albert defined resilience, underlined the vulnerability of our globalised world where everything is interconnected, stressed the importance of communication and collaboration when countries are facing turmoil, and also talked about the need of providing narratives on better futures to be able to identify and engage on what we are aiming for.
