ABSTRACT
The Resilience Action Initiative (RAI) described in this book is not only unique for the resilience approach it took to address pervasive stresses at the water-energy-food nexus, but also for the broad and diverse set of competencies, capabilities and cultures the different participating companies brought to bear on the issue. In this chapter we take a look at the RAI experience over the past two years as a global collaborative effort among private sector partners, attempting to derive some broader lessons from the experience. We hope that what we learned in this period – among private sector companies only – might also extend to the public-private partnerships that will ultimately be required to solve resilience challenges at the energy, food and water nexus.
