"Bouncing forward" represents a transformative form of resilience, contrasting with the traditional notion of bouncing back. This concept, based on  McWethy et al.'s (2019)  definition, entails a shift in how individuals interact with their environment, embracing the fluid and dynamic nature of environmental change. Bouncing forward involves framing reconstruction through the lens of climate change and prioritizing climate smart activities. Rather than merely "building back" as emphasized in disaster risk reduction manuals, this approach encourages reimagining the future of a place, considering climate and environmental change as inevitable factors that will shape the living environments an livelihoods in the short and long term.
