The five pillars of climate resilience are: income, information, insurance, infrastructure and interventions. Poverty and climate vulnerability disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries. The increase in per capita income is key to resilience, followed by knowledge and experience. Accurate information, effective insurance, solid infrastructure and social interventions are essential to mitigate climate change. Preparation and adaptation to climate shocks are crucial for a more resilient future.
