Learning from the history of disaster vulnerability and resilience research and practice for climate change
Natural Hazards, March 2016, pp. 1-15, doi:10.1007/s11069-016-2294-0
This paper describes the importance of older vulnerability and resilience research for contemporary investigations involving climate change, suggesting ways forward without disciplinary blinkers. Vulnerability and resilience as processes are explored alongside critiques of the post-disaster ‘return to normal’ paradigm. The importance of learning from already existing literature and experience is demonstrated for ensuring that complete vulnerability and resilience processes are accounted for by placing climate change within other contemporary development concerns.
