Navigating Climate Change and Building Resilience

In today’s world, climate change stands as one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Its far-reaching impact touches every corner of the globe, from rising sea levels to increasingly extreme weather events. But amidst these challenges, a growing movement is focused on building resilience—the capacity for a system, community, or society to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity (UNISDR, 2010).

 

The MPA Consultants aim to provide insights, strategies, and stories that illuminate the path toward climate resilience. Here, you’ll find a wealth of resources from exceptional student research and real-world examples, all designed to empower individuals, communities, and organizations to navigate the complexities of climate change.
