7. Connecting People to Build Inclusive Urban Climate Change Resilience ACCCRN OVERVIEW Lessons that ACCCRN builds on: Resilience efforts must build a long-term future different from current trajectories increasing inequality gaps. Ask what “resilience” is for, who benefits and by what authority. Resilience “projects without processes” may make inequality worse. Technical issues are relatively easy. Governance is the core of transformational resilience and is hard.
