The Council adopted conclusions on a strategic approach to resilience in the EU's external action. The EU strategy for resilience building aims at moving from crisis containment to a more structural and long-term approach to global challenges. It puts a particular emphasis on anticipation, prevention and preparedness.

The Council invited the High Representative, the Commission and the member states to take forward the work on the four building blocks proposed in the joint communication by the High Representative and the Commission of 7 June 2017:

● improving the shared analysis of risk at country and regional level

● more dynamic monitoring of external pressures

● integrating the resilience approach into current EU programming and into reflections on the future of financing EU external action

● developing international policy and practice on resilience

This work forms one of the major pillars of the implementation of the EU Global Strategy.
