IPCC AR6: 5 questions to understand Chapter 18

What is Climate Resilient Development, otherwise known as CRD – and can it help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or fight against climate change? Here are five questions to understand chapter 18.

<h2 id="">What is Climate Resilient Development?</h2><p id="">Climate resilient development, otherwise known as CRD, is a method to implement various strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and employ others to be more sustainable. Actions to reduce climate change and ways to improve upon sustainability are two separate practices, but climate resilient development has been proved to be more successful when independence between the two actions are taken and given separate but equal attention. However, that isn’t to say that these goals cannot be achieved simultaneously, and that various methods can be taken to implement both measures to reach both goals to reduce emissions and partake in sustainable development.&nbsp;</p><p id="">Climate resilient development is important as it helps to create momentum for climate action, and is imperative seeing as rising global temperatures continue to increase and are expected to exceed 1.5°C in the early&nbsp; 2030s.</p><p id="">An example of Climate Resilient Development is to implement the use of clean energy, promote balanced diets sourced from sustainable food suppliers, or utilizing the use of public transportation.&nbsp;</p><p id="">‍</p><h2 id="">How is CRD currently being developed?</h2><p id="">CRD is currently being developed in correlation with the ongoing development of climate change itself. In other words, CRD is often developed alongside the current social and economic state of the environment where the climate resilient development is supposed to take place, and the external factors can often influence how successful the implementation, or failure to implement, these strategies are.&nbsp;</p><p id="">While many companies have made great leaps towards implementing sustainability and methods to reduce emissions, there are still many areas where improvement could occur. The concept of climate resilient development could help to improve each individual goal: the one to reduce emissions, and the one to become a more sustainable business.&nbsp;</p><p id="">An example of climate resilient development suffering from a roadblock is the COVID-19 pandemic. This time period illustrated how climate resilient development is prone to the influence of income inequality. Even following the pandemic, where production and high emitting carbon emission activities resumed, helped to delineate that CRD is sensitive to land use, food and water supply, human displacement, and changing life-expectancies. Evidently, poverty is one of the biggest constraints in the efforts to implement climate resilient development. This is because climate change is bound to impact local communities and developing countries that require more funding to implement environmental legislation and to repair society following the events of natural disasters caused by climate change itself.&nbsp;</p><p id="">Ultimately, climate resilient development thrives in an area where finances and social equality are abundant, and struggles to succeed in areas of the world prone to poverty and social inequality.&nbsp;</p><p id="">‍</p><h2 id="">Does locale impact climate resilient development?</h2><p id="">Locale absolutely impacts the success of climate resilient development. In addition to finances and social injustices that impact the potential success of CRD, climate resilient development could be affected by the genders, races, and ages of those in a specific location. Climate change is bound to impact areas where these vulnerable populations experience inequality in a multitude of ways: such as financially and socially. Examples of these regions include East, Central and West Africa, South Asia, and parts of Central America.</p><p id="">Ironically, implementing these strategies in these vulnerable regions can make social inequalities worse, even whilst trying to reduce emissions or improve upon sustainability efforts. Therefore, the use of indigenous knowledge to provide insight in how to best mitigate these negative effects while still providing the community in question with improved security on food supply, biodiversity, and prevent land degradation – is imperative to the success of implementing climate resilient development in these populations.&nbsp;</p><p id="">It is important to note that this setback is common for climate resilient development – as 3.3 billion people in parts of the world are highly susceptible to the effects of climate change, whereas two billion live in regions that present low levels of vulnerability.&nbsp;</p><p id="">Basically, more of the world is prone to find it difficult to implement climate resilient development. The ability for a region to respond to excessive emissions, the future trajectories of climate change in the area, the pathways to reduce climate risk exposure, and the reliability of local legislation to help establish new measures all play a part in the potential success for climate resilient development.&nbsp;</p><p>‍</p><h2 id="">How can everyone in the world pursue climate resilient development?</h2><p id="">There are a multitude of ways in which every community in the world, whether it is prone to the challenges of implementing CRD or not, can establish methods to employ the values of climate resilient development</p><p id="">Pathways to implement climate resilient development are dependent on individual actors, the private sector, the society in question, available scientific resources, and the media. It is important to evaluate the benefits and downsides to implementing sustainability in these areas and how they are to be distributed between various populations is crucial to the success of climate resilient development.&nbsp;</p><p id="">For instance, it is common for various actors and stakeholders to have different intentions in the opportunity to implement climate resilient development – and this can either accentuate or decrease the current social, economic, or ecological inequalities that the community faces.&nbsp;</p><p id="">Therefore, while it is possible for anyone to promote climate resilient development anywhere in the world – the intent should be taken into consideration, as the ethical intentions can directly impact the pathway to climate resilient development.&nbsp;</p><p id="">‍</p><h2 id="">Why is it important to implement climate resilient development?</h2><p id="">Implementing climate resilient development allows one to consider more opportunities for sustainable development whilst also reducing emissions and preventing further global warming and provides the opportunity to create a precautionary strategy for various, future climate-related risks.&nbsp;</p><p id="">Ultimately, climate resilience can help mitigate the negative impacts of climate change by protecting the infrastructure, ecosystems, and vulnerable communities and help them achieve newfound sustainability in the process.&nbsp;</p><p id="">‍</p><h2 id="">What do you need to remember?</h2><p id="">Climate resilient development, otherwise known as CRD – is the combined effort to avoid an area’s exposure to potential climate threats and reduce emissions simultaneously. Implementing climate resilient development helps to preserve valuable resources in society such as energy, food, and water. Climate resilient development is prone to face challenges in poverty-ridden areas of the world, but it can still be done. CRD ultimately allows communities around the world to recognize the importance of both reducing emissions and sustainability by encouraging everyone to pay equal attention to both concepts equally.&nbsp;</p><h2 id="">What about Greenly?&nbsp;</h2><p id="">Your company/organization can also do its part.<a href="https://www.greenly.earth/en-us/demo" id=""> Call our experts</a> and ask for your carbon assessment!</p><p id="">‍</p>
