The Resilience, Adaptation and Transformation Assessment Framework: from theory to application Issued on 2015 by Global Environment Facility (GEF)

The Resilience, Adaptation Pathways and Transformation Approach (RAPTA) is about:

  • how to make robust interventions in systems…
  • informed by the science of resilience, adaptation, and transformation…
  • applied in an intentional way…
  • to work out what parts of the system to keep the same, modify or transform; and how to change them…
  • in order to move towards sustainability goals (e.g. Sustainability Development Goals)
  • while the world is changing rapidly in novel ways and there is high uncertainty.
