From Local to Global: A Multi-Actor Collaboration Model for Environmental Resilience

Abstract

Global environmental resilience requires the systematic integration of local practices, multi-actor collaboration, and a global resilience framework. This study develops a new conceptual model that connects local wisdom with the global framework through adaptive multi-actor collaboration mechanisms. Using a mixed-methods approach with multi-site case study analysis in Indonesia, this study examines how community-based environmental management practices can be strengthened through multi-actor collaboration and connected to a global resilience framework. The developed conceptual model suggests three integration pathways: (1) amplification of local practices through horizontal collaboration, (2) vertical scalability through multi-level networks, and (3) global connections through transnational platforms. The findings identify key factors that facilitate the transformation from local initiatives to global contributions to environmental resilience, including facilitative leadership, connecting technologies, and adaptive learning mechanisms. Keywords: local practices, multi-actor collaboration, global resilience, traditional wisdom, scale transformation, environmental governance
