Resilience to natural hazards: How useful is this concept?
TL;DR: An improvement to conceptual clarity would foster much-needed communication between the natural hazards and the climate change communities and, more importantly, offers greater potential in application, especially when attempting to move away from disaster recovery to hazard prediction, disaster prevention, and preparedness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing hazard vulnerability: towards a common approach between disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation
TL;DR: Key communalities and differences between the climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction communities are examined, and three exercises that would help to structure a multi-community dialogue and learning process are proposed.
