This open access edited volume critically examines a coherence building opportunity between
Climate Change Adaptation the Sustainable Development Goals and Disaster Risk Reduction
agendas through presenting best practice approaches and supporting Irish and international
case studies. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted existing global inequalities and
demonstrated the scope and scale of cascading socio-ecological impacts. The impacts of climate
change on our global communities will likely dwarf the disruption brought on by the pandemic
and moreover these impacts will be more diffuse and pervasive over a longer timeframe. This
edited volume considers opportunities to address global challenges in the context of developing
resilience as an integrated development continuum instead of through independent and siloed
agendas.
