climate resilience
Weathering environmental changes
Climate resilience is the capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from climate-related disruptions—floods, droughts, heat waves, rising seas.
The term appears in policy discussions, urban planning, and environmental science: The city invested in climate resilience by expanding green infrastructure.
It encompasses both physical infrastructure and social systems that help communities absorb shocks and maintain function.
