Au-delà du rebond : ce que les catastrophes nous apprennent sur la résilience | Dr Prerna Singh | TEDxJGIS Youth

Les catastrophes révèlent la manière dont les personnes, les institutions et les communautés réagissent lorsque les systèmes familiers s'effondrent. Dans cette intervention TEDxJGIS Youth, la Dr Prerna Singh, spécialiste de la résilience des infrastructures et de l'adaptation climatique, remet en question l'idée que la résilience consiste simplement à revenir à l'état antérieur. Selon elle, une reprise significative repose sur la préparation, l'adaptabilité, la collaboration et la volonté de bâtir de meilleures voies pour l'avenir. L'intervention a été donnée lors d'un événement TEDx organisé de manière indépendante.

• La résilience au-delà du retour à l'état antérieur
• Préparation, adaptabilité et collaboration
• Adaptation portée par les acteurs locaux

Disasters test more than infrastructure—they reveal how people, institutions and communities respond when familiar systems collapse. Drawing from her experience in disaster resilience, Dr. Prerna Singh challenges the idea that resilience simply means returning to the way things were. She explains why meaningful recovery requires preparedness, adaptability, collaboration and the courage to build better pathways for the future. Dr. Prerna Singh is an infrastructure resilience and climate adaptation specialist whose work bridges research, policy and real-world implementation. With an academic background in Civil Engineering, including a PhD and MS from Georgia Institute of Technology and a BTech from IIT Gandhinagar, she has worked across academia, international development and resilience-focused organisations. Her professional journey includes work connected with UNDP, the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center and the Adaptation Research Alliance Infrastructure, along with leadership in climate-adaptation learning and research. Her expertise centres on strengthening infrastructure and communities against climate and disaster risks, locally led adaptation, systems thinking and long-term resilience. She is passionate about translating rigorous research into practical approaches that enable communities and institutions to navigate uncertainty and build more resilient futures.
