Building Resilience Against Climate Change

The term “Climate change” should be taken very seriously by now because the impacts of the Climate Change are worsening the situations of the economy. In the human History it is been spiralling as year by year It’s enlarging its Intensity. Every year we record the highest temperature and these records are broken year after year. By this time we are not improving in area related to the Climate change. The climate is changing but not us. Things are already getting worse by the Forest Fires to the increasing Frequency and intensity of storms, to the blistering cold waves and spiralling Heat.

We have to understand the fact as the Climate Change is Real ; this is first and mostly affected to the poor and they are more marginalised. The Farmers and the other people who work in land, use water and make livelihood are very much affected. They are not the only contributors for the problem but yet they suffer more. But it is clear that their pain would definitely make the economy insecure. Since the changes are not remarkable we need to act Now and the Earliest.

Government work so hard to build up the Infrastructure and the “not so natural” calamities washes everything off and these are rebuild. Houses and other personal belongings are washed away, roads and infrastructure are destroyed. Instead of rebuilding why don’t the government try to solve the base problem . Without searching and solving out the cause we will have to invest our time and money in Rebuilding process only. 

Flood and Drought are not just about the climate change. We have to understand the fact that drought occurs due to the mismanagement of Water resources and flood is all about the sheer inability to plan for Drainage ; for our lack of concern to protect the forests on watershed or the near criminal act of Building and destroying the flood plains.

The 2019 IPCC report have stated that modern agricultural methods practices for being over-chemicalised and over- industrialisation have increased in Greenhouse emissions. All these would make the poor poorer and their impoverishment and marginalisation will add will add to their desperation to move away from their land sand seek alternative livelihood. The only way option for them is to leave their places and migrate to other states or country.

The Ultimate solution for all these we can do is Growing Trees , which would reduce the heat level , curb emissions of greenhouse gases, improving soil health captures carbon dioxide. Most Importantly we should try to change the agricultural practises too. 

We should invest in were we not only withstand the calamity but overcome it the next time. For this we have to seriously think on creating ecological assets. In the nutshell we have to not only focus in our business but also look upon the environment and help it to survive . We should not only focus to maximize our wealth but also build wealth for the poorest and improve their livelihood.
