Societal Dimensions

The Grand Pathways Framework identifies five principal societal dimensions of resilience, recognizing there are many more that could be used to characterize resilient communities and to serve as organizing constructs to identify science and technology gaps and opportunities. Over time, the Framework may be expanded based on further research and practice. The societal dimensions presented in this section and used in the case studies are intended to be a flexible, ever-evolving means to frame resilience science and technology discussions.
