Equity in Building Resilience in Adaptation Planning
- Abstract
Over the years we’ve seen increase in heat waves, droughts, extreme weather, sea levels, and, though we are all impacted, it is the most vulnerable communities and countries who are bearing the brunt of the effects. While we work to stem the tide of climate change, we must adapt to the clear and present danger of climate change by building individual and community resilience.
