Climate Resilience

Climate resilience refers to our ability to anticipate and respond to hazardous events, trends, or disturbances related to the changing environment, while working to prevent them from getting worse. In order to improve climate resilience, it's essential to assess how we can be better prepared for current and future climate-related risks.

These impacts often disproportionately affect low-income communities, reinforcing the need for equitable planning and resource allocation.
