Climate Change Resilience RF White Paper
In August of 2007, the Rockefeller Foundation launched its Building Climate Change Resilience initiative. Most of the global attention on climate change has been focused on reducing greenhouse gases. We, however, chose to tackle building resilience, because we realize that the impacts of climate change have already begun to manifest and despite any headway made by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there are irreversible impacts that will continue and worsen within our lifetimes. Current and future consequences of climate change will result in significant human misery and suffering.
