Creating Resilient Futures US Launch Event

There are countless links between Climate Change Adaptation, the Sustainable Development Goals and Disaster Risk Reduction. However, many discussions and actions still occur in silos. How then can we address the global challenge of developing resilience as an integrated development continuum? Join the interactive launch of the new book that engages with this question. Editors, authors, and commentators will discuss the shortcomings of the current approach, provide global case studies on integrating different processes, and share how to build political will towards resilience and sustainability.
