Dear Serigne Mbacké Coly Resilience to climate change is first of all a time-scale dielema: At what time scale should we consider the priority measures to be implemented in order to ensure the protection of natural resources and guarantee their sustainability? (i) direct and urgent measures associated with the modes of exploitation and development of resources ; (ii) indirect and very long-term implications of Climate Change on the potential of resources. Has everything been done on (i) to decree that it is urgent to tackle (ii) head-on with all its uncertainties, particularly with regard to time scales involved, incompatible with the scales of concrete actions?

Is it absurd to assume, like for the evolution of species and their adaptations to natural changes of all kinds, that adaptations and resilience to the effects of climate change should readjust themselves, to changes in natural conditions, which by definition are very slow and loaded with uncertainties?

Moral: what are the urgent actions for scientists, decision-makers, actors, and active civil societies, and on what issues should scientific, technical, and financial resources should be concentrated?

Thank you Ilan Kelman , those ressources will be very helpfull. As I am new to the field and in the early stages of my thesis, I am trying to get to grips with the concept of 'resilience'. Would it be possible to exchange with you by email for more information?

Thank you Jamel Chahed for these clarifications and suggestions which will be of great help to me
