Delivering our climate-resilient future: Lessons from a global evidence review
This document embodies the ambitious commitments that the LDCs (Least Developed Countries) are making together to ensure to leave no LDC behind. The climate emergency is calling for a historic shift in the way LDCs and the international community are responding to climate change. By working together better, would be possible to be aligned with and deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Paris Agreement, Aichi Biodiversity Targets and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction to implement real action on the ground at national and local levels and make climate resilience a reality. LIFE-AR charts out an effective, ambitious response to the climate challenge, with all countries and communities — from the least to the most vulnerable — working hand in hand for a climate- resilient future.
This evidence review aims to deepen understanding of ‘what works’ in delivering long-term resilience, and to present a non-exhaustive base of potentially effective adaptation and resilience interventions that we might use to achieve our ambitions.
The diversity of initiatives in the review provides opportunities for learning for all countries irrespective of size, landscape or hazard.
The initiatives cover a wide range of landscapes and ecosystems, including agricultural and pastoral, coastal, urban, watershed, forest and mountainous. They also span a wide range of environments that are vulnerable to different hazards, including drought, flooding and storm surges, cyclones and typhoons, extreme temperatures and earthquakes.
