To achieve this adaptation the report notes that we will need to revolutionize our understanding of who and what is at risk from climate change, as well as the power structures in place that are limiting our action.Ī radical change in how we plan must also be achieved to include climate risk in policy and investment decisions, and to begin to implement solutions. Restoration goes hand in hand with recovery, such as introducing social safety nets for those affected, changing insurance operations and rebuilding in a way that is better than before. Preparation includes the immediate response to climate-based problems, including temporary evacuation plans, updated early warning systems and increased training for first responders. It can mean anything from deploying nature-based solutions such as planting trees or coral restoration, to further agricultural research and land use planning. Reduction of the effects of climate change begins with preventing the causes of its disruption. Their strategies can be broken down into three fundamental principles: reduction, preparation and restoration. The Global Commission for adaptation has recently released a report on the actions that can be taken to begin to adapt to the growing threat of climate change. At times it can all seem like too much, but now more than ever we need concerted community-wide action, to help us combat this problem head on.Īdapting to the Climate Crisis: nature-based solutions will be key to a climate resilliant future.

At the forefront of our minds are the harrowing scenes of the Amazon set ablaze, the melting of the Alaskan glaciers at 100 times the speed as previously thought, and the carnage left behind by Hurricane Dorian.

The world is in a desperate struggle to limit the effects of climate change. In New York, the climate action summit begins next week (Monday 23rd September), and the global climate strike commences today (20th September). A recent report by the Global Commission on Adaptation calls for revolutions in understanding, planning and finance to accelerate adaptation for crucial systems within our world to help combat the climate crisis.
