In the 2026 edition of Resilience Matters: From Crisis to Collective Action published by Island Press, a collection of authors from around the country assess the threats we face and share examples of people working to nurture social capital and build resilience in a changing climate. From librarians bringing people together across social divides to health care workers preparing their patients for heat and extreme weather, there are countless examples of how we can build a fairer, greener future for everyone.
