“How are climate resilience and mitigation related?”

 

Although usually siloed into two different categories, climate resilience and mitigation need to be studied jointly. For example, while committing to a sustainable solution such as installing solar panels, the decision of whether or not to couple it with a battery will affect the system’s resilience. Just like water and energy affect each other in a water-energy nexus, sustainability and mitigation affect each other in The Resilience-Mitigation Nexus.
