Basics Concepts and Terminology Related to Climate Resilience

Amidst the havoc and damage caused by climate change-related problems, scientists and policy managers are actively developing plans to enhance global climate resilience. In this pursuit, new researchers require a comprehensive compilation of important concepts and terminologies related to climate resilience. This work aims to bridge that gap by synthesizing key concepts and terminologies used in studies pertaining to climate resilience. We have selected 15 climate resilience-related concepts and terminologies for synthesis, including: (a) Climate resilient development (CRD) IPCC, (b) CRD pathways, (c) Adaptation, (d) Vulnerability, (e) Risk, (f) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), (g) Urban Resilience, (h) Disaster Risk Reduction (DDR), (i) Sustainability Science, (j) Reducing carbon footprint, (k) Climate Resilience Index, (l) Urban Disaster Resilience Index, (m) Risk management, (n) Green infrastructure, and (o) Nature based solutions. By consolidating and presenting these concepts and terminologies in one place, this work aims to support the understanding and advancement of climate resilience research and practice.
