1. Background and Challenges of Climate Change for the Electric Power Distribution Sector
Resilience is defined by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) as the ability of social, economic, and environmental systems to cope with a hazardous event, trend, or disruption by responding or reorganizing in a way that maintains their capacity to adapt, learn, and transform.
The UN (United Nations), for its part, defines resilience as the ability of a system, community, or society that is potentially exposed to hazards to adapt by resisting or changing in order to achieve or maintain proper functioning within acceptable parameters. The resilience of a social system is determined by its ability to organize itself in such a way as to be better able to learn from past disasters in order to protect itself more effectively and reduce risks more efficiently.
