“…[FIGURE 1 HERE] Differentiating variables and values for these scenarios were generated through a PESTEL (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental and Legal) analysis of the scenario reports in Table 1. A full description of this analysis is provided in Sircar et al, (2013).…”

“…This PESTEL analysis produced short scenario narratives (see Sircar et al, 2013) which were then validated by a focus group of experts (n=7) from the fields of infrastructure planning and resilience. The participants at this focus group formed the steering group for the project and would later form a key end-user group for outputs from the research.…”

“…Between 2010 and 2013, the EPSRC Resilient Futures research project (see School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, 2012) developed, and stress-tested through multi-stakeholder engagement, energy-and transportorientated scenarios for 2050, each with radically divergent configurations of infrastructure (Sircar et al, 2013). The Resilient Futures scenarios 3 are explorative rather than predictive or normative: they are intended to investigate possibilities for future changes in energy and transport infrastructure, in response to long-term drivers (such as climate change), rather than predict specific changes or offer a roadmap for responding to change (see Borjeson et al, 2006, p. 727).…”

Understanding and enhancing future infrastructure resiliency: a socio‐ecological approach

It has long been recognized that the resilience of any system, whether human or natural, involves the capacity of that system to adapt its structure, although not necessarily function, to a new configuration in response to long-term socio-ecological change. Thus over the long-term, enhancing resilience involves more than simply improving the ability of a system to resist an immediate threat or recover to a stable, past state. However, despite the prevalence of adaptive notions of resilience in academic discourse, it is apparent that infrastructure planners and policies largely continue to struggle to comprehend longer-term system adaptation in their understandings of resilience. Instead a short-term, stable system perspective (STSS) on resilience is prevalent: our purpose here is to identify and problematize this perspective. In so doing, we present research that developed a heuristic 'scenario-episode' tool to address, and challenge, this STSS perspective as it plays out within the context of UK infrastructure resilience. Thus, our goal is to help resilience practitioners better understand the capacities of future infrastructure systems to respond to natural and malicious threats.

“…From the energy perspective, resilience represents an effective counter to cope with the vulnerability of energy insecurities, for example, the availability of energy resources, the constraints in the energy supply and the impact on political disruptions (O'Brien and Hope 2010). Embedding resilience in this aspect is often referred to interdependent energy, transport infrastructures and lowering the carbon pathway (Newman et al 2009;O'Brien and Hope 2010;Sircar et al 2013). Studies on terrorism increasingly use the notion of resilience to describe how cities and regions attempt to embed security and risk management into the system of governance and physical development (Coaffee 2008(Coaffee , 2009Coaffee and Rogers 2008).…”

Resilience has gained considerable attention over recent years in both theories and decision-making practices. In Taiwan, the term resilience is generally considered as a synonym for adaptation. This may limit the use of the notion. By understanding resilience in terms of adaptation and mitigation, we identify six attributes for assessment. The assessment is addressed in local level climate change adaptation policies in two selected cities. The city of Taipei represents places where local adaptation policies were directed mainly by the national government. The city of Tainan represents places where the municipal government plays a more critical role in framing these policies. This can result in different policymaking considerations. The assessment points out that the proposed actions of these policies are broader than a general understanding of adaptation. Mitigation strategies are addressed and sometimes highly recommended. Because of this, we can interpret these actions as resilience strategies covered under the use of the term adaptation. The notion of resilience does not stay on the rhetorical level alone. It is happening in shaping decisions -without using the terminology directly. The broadness of the resilience notion, in spite of being abstract, can provide a more general framework for cross-sectorial discussion and collaboration in policy-making. This is particularly important for dealing with complex issues, such as climate-related disturbances, which cannot be managed by a single group of professions.

Weltweite Verteilungskämpfe um knappe Energieressourcen und der Klimawandel mit seinen Auswirkungen führen zu globalen, nationalen, regionalen und auch lokalen Herausforderungen, die Gegenstand dieser Publikationsreihe sind. Die Beiträge der Reihe sollen Chancen und Hemmnisse einer präventiv orientierten Energie-und Klimapolitik vor dem Hintergrund komplexer energiepolitischer und wirtschaftlicher Interessenlagen und Machtverhältnisse ausloten. Themenschwerpunkte sind die Analyse der europäischen und internationalen Liberalisierung der Energiesektoren und -branchen, die internationale Politik zum Schutz des Klimas, Anpassungsmaßnahmen an den Klimawandel in den Entwicklungs-, Schwellenund Industrieländern, die Produktion von biogenen Treibstoffen zur Substitution fossiler Energieträger oder die Probleme der Atomenergie und deren nuklearen Hinterlassenschaften.Die Reihe bietet empirisch angeleiteten, quantitativen und international vergleichenden Arbeiten, Untersuchungen von grenzüberschreitenden Transformationsund Mehrebenenprozessen oder von nationalen "best practice"-Beispielen ebenso ein Forum wie theoriegeleiteten, qualitativen Untersuchungen, die sich mit den grundlegenden Fragen des gesellschaftlichen Wandels in der Energiepolitik und beim Klimaschutz beschäftigen.
