As such, society in all countries – both developing and developed – need to increase their resilience to the impacts of climate change, where resilience is the ability of a system to absorb stresses and adapt in ways that improve the overall sustainability of the system; enabling it to be better prepared for future climate change impacts..In this context, a climate resilient society is one that is: reflective (learns from experiences); robust (both people and infrastructure can withstand the impacts of extreme conditions); forward-thinking (with plans made to ensure systems function during extreme events); flexible (so systems and plans can change, evolve or adopt alternative strategies); resourceful (to respond quickly to extreme events); inclusive (so all communities including the vulnerable are involved in planning); and integrated (so people, systems, decision-making and investments are mutually supportive | | 出版日期 | Reference work 2021 | | 关键词 | climate resilience; climate resilient societies; urban sustainability; extreme water events; extreme wea | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-42462-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-42462-6 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 |
