Abstract: Resilience is more than the absence or opposite of vulnerability. As a measure of susceptibility, vulnerability is indicative of the extent of exposure: the degree to which a shock or stressor is impacting a society, group or household. Resilience, on the other hand, is coping ability: the degree to which an entity can effectively react to mitigate the effects of a shock or stressor by taking measures or changing its behavior. Each entity can therefore be both vulnerable and resilient simultaneously, to some degree.
