  We are planning to organise at least two meetings every year in different locality, where a member of the WG can arrange a proper location. The contributions to the debate will be distributed to the EADI members by means of a “Newsletter” containing links to the papers that have been discussed.We will start our work focusing on the issues and fields on which each Convenor is already working. This allows some initial economies in pointing out individuals and institutions more interested and available in participating to the WG itself. Among these issues, we could focus first on the role of Natural Resource Availability and of Energy Requirements for Vulnerable Communities, which are broad issues in which all conveners are involved. Initially these issues will be analysed within the context of Small Island States. Then, a general framework will be built in order to deal with the policies that are aimed at improving the Resilience and the Adaptive Capacity at local level – with reference to communities – and to regional level – with reference to territories. Since strategies for improving resilience and to create adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities are at the core of local, national and global policies, the WG intends to promote the participation of the research centres to calls for proposals of the European Commission and of other International Organizations that promote and support scientific research.
