The paper "Digital Resilience for the Climate Crisis: A Multi-Perspective Analysis" is now available online in the journal MIS Quarterly.
The paper explores multiple perspectives on the potential use of digital technologies to improve organizational resilience in the context of climate change. Such an approach is needed to address this complex problem space, especially since it encompasses a wide variety of phenomena, including floods and landslides, disruptions to global supply chains, heat waves, biodiversity loss, greenhouse gas emissions, and food insecurity. The paper covers a range of rich narratives, including digital resilience in the context of floods and landslides in Brazil and Indonesia; conceptual development efforts incorporating the natural environment with people and technology; reconceptualization of the problem space in terms of time and type; and two applications of digital resilience in the domains of global supply chains and carbon emissions tracking.
