Risk and resilience in the era of climate change
Thomas, Vinod.

Risk and resilience in the era of climate change[electronic resource] /by Vinod Thomas. - Second edition. - Singapore :Springer Nature Singapore :2024. - xlvii, 227 p. :ill. (chiefly col.), digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1 Opening Summary: Risk, Resilience and Climate Change -- Chapter 2 Climate, Health, and Geopolitical Crises -- Chapter 3 Understanding Risk and Uncertainty -- Chapter 4 Resilience Combining Mitigation and Adaptation -- Chapter 5 New Highs in Risk and Resilience -- Chapter 6 Intractability of Climate Change -- Chapter 7 Growth versus Climate: A Persistently False Dichotomy -- Chapter 8 Climate Mitigation and Adaptation in Policymaking -- Chapter 9 The Necessity of Transformative Change.

This book presents essential insights on the interaction between rising risks and raising the bar for resilience during the climate crisis. Its timeliness lies in applying important findings on risk and resilience to runaway climate change. When risk and resilience are brought together in the context of climate catastrophes, three key messages emerge. The first is that accounting for the root causes, and not just their symptoms, is essential to slowing these events. It is therefore vital to link carbon emissions from human activity to the sharp rise in climate disasters globally. The second is that growth economics and policy must factor in the failure of governments and businesses to tackle spillover harm from economic activities, as seen strikingly with global warming AND BIODIVERSITY LOSS. With climate risks rising, this calls for a fundamental revision of the framing of growth in the teaching and practice of business and economics. And third, prevention must become a far bigger part of resilience building, with preparedness to avert or handle tougher eventualities built into interventions. Emphasis on prevention deems disaster recovery as not just returning to how things were but building back better.
