Climate-resilient development can therefore be viewed as efforts\u00a0which respond to the risks and opportunities posed by a changing climate, so that development goals are achieved while negative impacts of climate change are minimised.<\/p>\n<p>But what does that actually mean for those communities most vulnerable to climate change (such as coastal communities in Madagascar)? Is resilience something that we should be trying more explicitly to foster? How can we support them to bounce back from increasingly frequent and severe weather events such as tropical cyclones or droughts associated with a changing climate?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7494\" style=\"width: 1110px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7494\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7494 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil4.jpg\" alt=\"Life on the edge\" width=\"1100\" height=\"700\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil4.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil4-100x65.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil4-561x357.jpg 561w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil4-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil4-745x474.jpg 745w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil4-300x191.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1100\/700;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7494\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Life on the edge | Photo: Gabriel Diamond<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Some principles of climate-resilient development<\/h3>\n<p>A closer look reveals that many of the principles that underpin climate-resilient development also lie at the heart of Blue Ventures\u2019 approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Listening to communities<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Climate-resilient development starts with listening to communities in order to understand and respond to the challenges they face, as they experience them. When working with communities to build their ability to recover from environmental shocks, this grassroots approach is essential, and I feel proud that putting \u201ccommunities first\u201d is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/blueventures.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Ventures\u2019 core values<\/a>. Had we not been listening to the communities with whom we partner, we might never have learned about the decline in their octopus fishery, for example, or unearthed a huge unmet need for reproductive health care; both key issues which have guided the evolution of our integrated programmes.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"pull-right\">Listening to communities and respecting their understanding of the challenges they face can highlight the interconnected nature of these challenges, beyond the siloed sectors that typically constrain NGO practice.<\/span><u><strong>Interdisciplinary working<\/strong> <\/u><\/p>\n<p>Listening to communities and respecting their understanding of the issues\u00a0they face can highlight the interconnected nature of these challenges. The communities with whom we work in Madagascar clearly articulate the links they see between reproductive health, family size and food security, for example. Their perspectives are not limited by the narrow and vertical approaches that characterise many development initiatives. With issues as cross-cutting as climate change, it is vital that we take a multi-sector approach, in a way that reflects the complexity of the interconnections between people, our health and the environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Fostering agency<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If we want to support communities to become more resilient, almost by definition we want them to have greater control over their resources, livelihoods and health, so that they are better able to respond to environmental shocks. The communities with whom we partner in Madagascar are working cooperatively to manage their marine resources in a more sustainable way, they have developed alternative livelihoods to fishing, and couples are now choosing when and how many children they have. All of this suggests that they have greater agency, with the capacity to develop flexible strategies for protecting their families and households against environmental stresses.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7500\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7500\" class=\"wp-image-7500 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-729x483.jpg\" alt=\"Building capacity\" width=\"700\" height=\"464\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-729x483.jpg 729w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-2000x1324.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-98x65.jpg 98w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-539x357.jpg 539w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-1300x861.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-1200x795.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/Aquaculture-training-Brian-Jones.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/464;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7500\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Building capacity | Photo: Brian Jones<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>From principles to practice: programmes that help build resilience<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to these principles, we believe that each component of our integrated programmes makes an important contribution to fostering greater climate change resilience among our partner communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Fisheries and marine ecosystems<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As communities rebuild their fisheries, they achieve greater food and economic security. <a href=\"https:\/\/blueventures.org\/conservation\/community-conservation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Locally Managed Marine Areas (LMMAs)<\/a> aim to protect whole marine ecosystems, and healthier ecosystems are more likely to recover from shocks such as the current <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noaanews.noaa.gov\/stories2015\/100815-noaa-declares-third-ever-global-coral-bleaching-event.html\" target=\"_blank\">global coral reef bleaching event<\/a>. As communities work collaboratively to manage their marine resources more sustainably, we are seeing that this sense of cooperation and commitment to locally led management often spills over into other aspects of community life, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/womens-groups-take-action-to-address-emergency-transport-challenges-for-accessing-maternal-healthcare\/\" target=\"_blank\">community organising to improve maternal health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Aquaculture<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/series\/aquaculture-profiles\/\">community-based seaweed and sea cucumber<\/a> programme allows communities to diversify their livelihoods, offering an alternative source of income to fishing. We hope this will serve to reduce pressure on marine resources and offer the potential to increase overall household income, which is often used to pay school fees or develop other small businesses. Families with more diverse livelihoods and greater incomes will be better placed to respond to environmental shocks, focusing their efforts on those activities that are least affected by the climatic event and using their assets to recover as necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Reproductive health<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a result of gaining access to <a href=\"https:\/\/blueventures.org\/conservation\/community-health\/\" target=\"_blank\">family planning and other health services<\/a>, women and children are healthier, making them more able to cope with adverse events. If couples choose to have smaller families, that means more resources are available per child; enabling families to invest more in each child\u2019s education or food, for example.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The value of interdisciplinary programmes<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Healthier families and ecosystems, stronger local governance, greater food and economic security; we hope that all of these outcomes will help to build resilience at the community level.<\/p>\n<p>We believe, however, that the overall impact of this <a href=\"https:\/\/blueventures.org\/conservation\/approach\/phe\/\" target=\"_blank\">holistic approach<\/a> is greater than the sum of its parts, as the interactions between these different components increase community agency and further promote the development of resilience.\u00a0For example, if couples choose to have smaller families, they are likely to generate less fishing pressure, further promoting recovery of marine ecosystems. As women gain control over their fertility and are able to space their births, they often have more time to engage in income-generation. This is likely to contribute to greater gender equity, increase women\u2019s agency and may ultimately lead to their more active participation in marine management. All of this further supports communities to respond and adapt to the challenges of a changing climate.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7493\" style=\"width: 1110px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7493\" class=\"wp-image-7493 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil3.jpg\" alt=\"resil3\" width=\"1100\" height=\"700\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil3.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil3-100x65.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil3-561x357.jpg 561w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil3-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil3-745x474.jpg 745w, https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2015\/11\/resil3-300x191.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1100\/700;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7493\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blueventures.exposure.co\/irenes-story\" target=\"_blank\">Irene<\/a><\/span> benefits from our integrated\u00a0programmes | Photo: Garth Cripps<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Blue Ventures rebuilds tropical fisheries with coastal communities<\/h3>\n<p>We don\u2019t describe our work as climate-resilient development, but what we\u2019re doing seems to align well with current thinking on how to promote greater community and ecosystem resilience to climate change.

I wonder also if what we have already learned about rebuilding tropical fisheries could provide useful insights for those working to promote climate change resilience. Perhaps multi-sector, community-based programmes could serve as a model for climate-resilient development elsewhere in the coastal tropics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is resilience?
