Building a resilient and sustainable economy requires a multifaceted approach that acknowledges the intertwined nature of economic resilience and sustainability. This approach includes strategies to mitigate and manage natural disasters, such as natural hazard zoning and emergency preparedness plans, as well as addressing issues related to pandemics and other global health crises through investments in healthcare infrastructure and public health measures. Structural vulnerabilities in the economy, such as income inequality and lack of access to education and training, must also be addressed.

To achieve economic resilience and sustainability, policies must support individuals, businesses, and communities in becoming more resilient to external risks and shocks. Continuous monitoring, assessment, and updating of these policies are essential to ensure their effectiveness. The Journal of Resilient Economies (JRE) provides a platform to advance these concepts by offering a multidisciplinary focus and a wide range of perspectives to better understand the challenges of building a resilient economy.

JRE is committed to accessibility and inclusivity, operating as a Platinum Open Access journal that does not charge readers or authors for access to its articles. This ensures that research is immediately and permanently available to all. Furthermore, JRE actively contributes to the literature on the connection between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) , particularly SDG8 and economic resilience, aligning with its commitment to the SDGs and promoting sustainable development.
