CLIMATE RESILIENCE: PATHWAYS TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Abstract

Climate change presents significant challenges to communities, ecosystems, and economies worldwide, necessitating urgent action to enhance resilience and mitigate its impacts. This paper explores the concept of climate resilience and outlines pathways towards a sustainable future in the face of climate change. Key components of climate resilience, including adaptation, mitigation, risk management, and social equity, are discussed, along with strategies for building climate-resilient communities, ecosystems, and economies. Drawing on interdisciplinary research and best practices, the paper highlights the importance of collaboration, innovation, and collective action in addressing the complex challenges of climate change. By embracing adaptive measures and prioritizing equity and social justice, we can pave the way towards a more sustainable and resilient future for generations to come.
