Establishing resilience seems to have become the great challenge of the new millennium. The concept of resilience has been repeatedly brought to prominence by the fundamental crises of the early 21st century. The Great Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2007/8 brought to the fore the resilience of an interconnected global financial system. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that started in 2019 was the motivating event for initiating this Special Issue Resilience. This pandemic caused major multi-layered challenges that span across national health care systems, global supply chains, and beyond. Another event that underlines how resilience spans the boundaries of different systems is Russia’s war against Ukraine, which started in February 2022. This war has substantial economic consequences with fossil energy becoming a key weapon against countries supporting the victim of the Russian aggression, thus dramatically increasing the focus on the lack of resilience of European countries. Almost unnoticed because of these developments closer to home, the resilience of the Earth’s climate system is increasingly spiraling out of control.
