Building Resilience

dust

Climate change impacts will range from affecting agriculture- further endangering food security-, sea-level rise and the accelerated erosion of coastal zones, increasing intensity of natural disasters, species extinction and the spread of vector-borne diseases.   - UNEP

As the frequency and magnitude of climate-related hazards increases, our predictive and response capacities must improve in equal measure. Part of this prepartion involves understanding just whose livelihoods will be affected by different hazards (and how), and learning what we can do now to build resiliencies. If we are to successfully meet the challenges of this changing world, we need to shore up weaknesses in livelihood systems now. We must not look back one day wishing we had spent more time looking ahead.
