Outcomes from the ‘Resilient Tenerife’ Workshop: a proposal for action

Abstract

On 2 and 3 November 2017, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre organised a workshop on resilience in Tenerife. It was attended by a variety of people (academics, social actors and members of the public) with expertise on both the definition of the concept of ‘resilience’ and the implications it would have for the island of Tenerife. For this purpose, presentations, sector-specific round tables, scientific visits and discussion groups were organised. This document sets out the main conclusions drawn, together with a list of actions in the form of a proposal to make the island more resilient to external and internal shocks, whether climate-related or socio-economic.
