What are universal principles of societal multi-resilience in the face of manifold interconnected and multi-dimensional global challenges? In how far do the guiding concepts of (multi-)resilience, sustainability and development contradict, but also complement each other? How can they contribute to securing societal future in the twenty-first century? This book draws a cross-disciplinary perspective and outlines guiding principles for further research and policy-making practice.

Dr. Karim Fathi is active in Berlin as a lecturer and policy advisor with focus on Resilience Studies and Interdisciplinary Communication. He is member of the Future Circle of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and advises authorities, NGOs and companies in the field of multi-resilience. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the serviceDeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
