Acknowledging that Transformations are Possible

Consequences for Environmental & Natural Resources Law
• Laws that reduce existing stressors on ecosystems are even more important.
• We need a strong precautionary principle.
• We need to increase protections for ecosytems and habitats and open more corridors.
• Population and consumption have to be part of the discussion.

Protect Ecosystems & Habitats and Create Corridors

The Empowerment
• Resilience thinking warns us that undesirable transformations are possible, and in some cases, maybe, inevitable.
• HOWEVER, resilience thinking also teaches us that we can work to avoid the socio-ecological transformations we REALLY don’t want.
![Page 32: Learning to Live with the Trickster: Narrating Climate Change and the Value of Resilience Thinking Robin Kundis Craig William H. Leary Professor of Law](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070409/56649e865503460f94b891c2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
And One Last Point . . .
Resilience thinking also counsels us that if we don’t get serious about mitigation, the climate change trickster will play a bigger and bigger role in our lives, in ways that make us increasingly uncomfortable.
