Climate change is the single largest threat to the attainment of
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and sustainable
development. Addressing climate risk is a challenge for all. This
book calls for greater collaboration between climate communities
and disaster development communities. In discussing this, the book
will evaluate the approaches used by each community to reduce the
adverse effects of climate change. One area that offers some
promise for bringing together these communities is through the
concept of resilience. This term is increasingly used in each
community to describe a process that embeds capacity to respond to
and cope with disruptive events. This emphasizes an approach that
is more focused on pre-event planning and using strategies to build
resilience to hazards in an adaptation framework. The book will
conclude by evaluating the scope for a holistic approach where
these communities can effectively contribute to building
communities that are resilient to climate driven risks.
