“At the heart of resilience thinking is a very simple notion – things change –
and to ignore or resist this change is to increase our vulnerability and forego
emerging opportunities. In so doing we limit our options. Sometimes changes
are slow (…); sometimes they are fast (…). Humans are usually good at noticing
and responding to rapid change. Unfortunately, we are not so good at
responding to things that change slowly. In part this is because we don’t notice
them and in part it’s because often there seems little we do about them
