About the Organon

The Organon is a collaborative framework for resilience planning (West et al. 2025).

It provides an organizing framework, guiding principles, project examples, and information resources for building resilience and adaptation into environmental and human health activities.

Adaptation refers to adjustment in natural or human systems to a new or changing environment that exploits beneficial opportunities or moderates adverse effects. This is key for maintaining long-term resilience (the ability to tolerate and recover from impacts).

The Organon is not just a theoretical concept, but a practical tool for planning, designing, and implementing adaptive actions for resilient natural resources and human communities.
