Climate change resilience: the case of Haiti

Source
Oxfam International Secretariat

This research report asserts that the prospects for climate change resilience in Haiti are now intricately tied to post-earthquake reconstruction. As Haiti turns its attention to preparing for more disasters and rebuilds significant portions of its infrastructure, it is essential to seize this opportunity to integrate climate resilience into these efforts.

Oxfam Research Reports are written to share research results, to contribute to public debate and to invite feedback on development and humanitarian policy and practice.
