Creating Resilient Futures : Integrating Disaster Risk Reduction, Sustainable Development Goals and Climate Change Adaptation Agendas by Barry O'Dwyer

This open access edited volume critically examines a coherence building?opportunity between Climate Change Adaptation, the Sustainable Development?Goals and Disaster Risk Reduction agendas through presenting best practice?approaches, and supporting Irish and international case studies. The Covid-19?pandemic has highlighted existing global inequalities and demonstrated the?scope and scale of cascading socio-ecological impacts. The impacts of climate?change on our global communities will likely dwarf the disruption brought on by?the pandemic, and moreover, these impacts will be more diffuse and pervasive?over a longer timeframe. This edited volume considers opportunities to address?global challenges in the context of developing resilience as an integrated?development continuum instead of through independent and siloed agendas.
