89 individual transilience in the face of the covid-19 pandemic more effective than interventions focusing on promoting domain-specific transilience. Yet, more research is needed to test whether such a strategy is effective. In conclusion, our results show that transilience can be relevant for understanding adaptation beyond the context of climate change risks. Specifically, people perceived transilience also in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, across contexts with varying levels of severity and acuteness posed by the threat of the pandemic. Furthermore, the more strongly individuals perceive transilience, the more likely they are to engage in adaptive behaviours and to display higher levels of general well-being in the face of COVID-19, provided that the contextual factors do not seriously restrict people’s actions. All in all, our research sheds light on the human capacity to adapt and thrive in the face of different environmental adversities, offering a positive and promising outlook on how humanity can confront and even evolve in the face of both present and future challenges. 3
