Not too hot, not too cold – Goldilocks had it right, says Laurie Mazur in a new series on the concept of resilience. Joining her in the top posts last month (measured by unique pageviews) was the World Resources Institute’s water risk atlas, an illustration of the effect of the demographic dividend using new Human Development Index data, and an update on Uganda’s population-development challenges by Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka. The Wilson Center’s China Environment Forum also continued their new Choke Point column with a discussion with activist Wang Canfa on China’s current environmental difficulties.
