Risk & Resilience examines how societies anticipate shocks, manage uncertainty, and build systems that can absorb disruption. Topics include climate risk, infrastructure fragility, food security, water stress, and the institutional design needed to sustain resilience over time.
This article explores the war of attrition model in game theory and how it helps explain why some armed conflicts persist despite high costs, focusing on strategic endurance and decision-making under uncertainty.
FPGA environmental monitoring enables real-time sensing and control for smart agriculture. This article explores how reconfigurable hardware can process environmental data at the edge to support more adaptive and resilient farming systems.
Wide-area IoT protocols such as LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and LTE-M enable resilient communication networks for disaster recovery in remote regions, supporting environmental monitoring, early warning systems, and situational awareness when conventional infrastructure fails.
Precision farming uses IoT sensors, connected devices, and agricultural drones to transform fields into data-driven systems, helping farmers monitor soil conditions, irrigation needs, and crop health in real time.
Urban farming infrastructure reframes local food production as a systems challenge. This article explores how distributed food systems can improve resilience in cities facing climate volatility, supply chain disruption, and growing population pressures.
Inclusive growth challenges the idea that economic expansion alone guarantees shared prosperity. But growth alone does not tell us who
The fishing cat depends on wetlands that are disappearing across Asia. Its decline reveals how wetland loss threatens biodiversity while undermining the ecological systems that protect both wildlife and human communities.
Freshwater is renewable, but only within hydrological limits. This article explores how water scarcity may become one of the defining constraints on economic development, energy systems, agriculture, and long-term environmental stability.
Development assistance can save lives and expand opportunity, but long-term progress depends on institutional capacity. This article explores how poverty traps emerge when countries lack the governance systems needed for sustained growth.
