PLANTING ECONOMIC TREES FOR CARBON POSITIVE AND CLIMATE CHANGE RESILIENCE
Climate shocks are more on the way. We have already spewed so much carbon into the atmosphere arising from the way we use energy (oil exploration, gas flaring and fuel combustion from transportation, industrial and mechanical equipments), that a cascade of worsening crop failure, drought, flood and so on is virtually guaranteed. We all feel the effect, hence this call for resilience building in our societies. Building resilience means helping society to work more like the ecosystem. Climate resilience can be generally defined in two ways. As the capacity for a socio-ecological system to absorb stresses and maintain function in the face of external stresses imposed upon it by climate change and to adapt, reorganize, and evolve into more desirable configurations that improve the sustainability of the system, leaving it better prepared for future climate change impacts. With the rising awareness of climate change impacts by both national an...
