The French node of the Resilience Alliance organizes on behalf of the Ministry of Ecology a workshop on Resilience, Water, Aquatic Environment and Foresight. This workshop aims at opening a debate within the French community working on water and aquatic ecosystems about the concepts of resilience of socio-ecosystems and those associated with viability, vulnerability and adaptive management. This workshop is a side event of the AQUA2030 program, and takes a particular perspective on the use of these concepts in forecasting approaches.
