The key aspects of climate resilience involve building the capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from the impacts of climate change, ensuring long-term sustainability and stability.
Ecosystems that are robust and diverse can better withstand and recover from climate-related disturbances. Healthy ecosystems, such as forests, wetlands, and coral reefs, provide essential services like water purification, carbon sequestration, and habitat for wildlife, which support overall climate resilience.
Effective hygiene practices contribute to climate resilience by reducing the spread of diseases and protecting public health. This involves integrated approaches to sanitation and cleanliness that prevent health crises exacerbated by climate changes, such as increased flooding or heatwaves.
Adaptation strategies aim to adjust systems to the impacts of climate change, such as building flood defenses or altering agricultural practices. Mitigation efforts focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to slow climate change. Both adaptation and mitigation are crucial for enhancing resilience and managing the risks associated with climate change.
