元に戻るだけではない：災害がレジリエンスについて教えてくれること | Prerna Singh博士 | TEDxJGIS Youth

災害は、身近な仕組みが崩れたときに人々、組織、コミュニティがどう対応するかを明らかにします。このTEDxJGIS Youthの講演で、インフラのレジリエンスと気候変動適応の専門家であるPrerna Singh博士は、レジリエンスとは元の状態に戻ることだという考え方に疑問を投げかけます。博士によると、意味のある復興には備え、適応力、協力、そしてより良い未来への道を築く姿勢が必要です。講演は独立して運営されたTEDxイベントで行われました。

• 元の状態に戻ること以上の意味を持つレジリエンス
• 備え、適応力、協力の重要性
• 地域主導の適応とシステム思考

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. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
