Environmentalists and climate change activists have spent years pushing to create a more sustainable planet. But what if the idea of sustainability itself is no longer enough in an increasingly volatile world? Futurist Andrew Zolli has written a new book about the concept of resilience- the ability to adapt to changed circumstances while still maintaining one's core purpose- and it has inspired some high level thinking at Vermont's Agency of Natural Resources.
We'll hear have a conversation with Andrew Zolli and Deborah Markowitz, Secretary of the Agency of Natural Resources, about how the concept of resilience could be applied to Vermont.
