Climate Resilient Infrastructure Undp Climate Change Adaptation

Climate Resilient Infrastructure Undp Climate Change Adaptation Ensuring the climate change resilience of infrastructure will help to protect lives and livelihoods, reduce direct losses as a result of extreme weather events, and play a key role in meeting the mitigation targets of the paris agreement, as well as to meet national development aspirations. The united nations development programme (undp) adaptation initiative focuses on building resilience at community, national, and regional levels to mitigate the impacts of climate change and protect vulnerable populations.

Climate Resilient Infrastructure Undp Climate Change Adaptation Through the climate promise, undp supports countries in their efforts to adapt and build resilience to the climate crisis. The undp climate change adaptation portal is a knowledge sharing platform that highlights undp supported climate adaptation projects around the world. Launched at the un climate summit in september 2019, undp is a key partner to the ccri, which seeks to transform infrastructure investment by integrating climate risks into decision making globally, including in cities.

Adaptation action advances climate resilient communities, ecosystems, and economies, with particular focus on vulnerable populations – the poor, women, and indigenous peoples. these groups are often the most vulnerable to climate change and are at greater risk to its impacts. That said, in defining resilient infrastructure there should be the recognition that absolute resilience of infrastructure is not possible, and therefore “resilience” is not understood as the ultimate capacity of infrastructure to survive a disaster event unscathed, but to have the capacity to “deliver the goods despite disruptions.”a. Undp’s commitment is articulated through two pillars that support developing countries to achieve inclusive development through reducing emissions, while also adapting to the changing climate and managing climate risk, both as part of long term sustainable development. Land and ecosystems that could support climate adaptation, from agriculture to forests and coastal systems, remains inaccessible. this can increase pressure on limited resources and heighten the risk of tensions where access to land and livelihoods is closely tied to stability. mine clearance is vital to enable better adaptation to climate impacts.
