How capable are local and regional economies of recovering from global and local shocks and threats and ensure resilient long-term development paths?
Answering this question was the challenge of the Nordic Thematic Group on Innovative and Resilient regions, set by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
Thus, from 2017 to 2018, an exploratory in-depth study was conducted on economic and social resilience in the Nordic regions.
The empirical research included a close examination of a variety of threats as well as factors driving resilience in regions in all five Nordic Countries.
Alberto Giacometti, Research Fellow at Nordregio, gives more insight into what resilience means for the Nordic region:
