Cabo Verde’s Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy (2018) defines “resilient communities as the populations and human settlements informed about the risks, aware and able to anticipate, prevent, prepare, face and recover from disasters; competent communities, capable of leading and taking risk reduction initiatives at local and community level; societies capable of organising cooperation within neighbourhoods and communities, of reinforcing self-help and of encouraging solidarity and mutual support, of cultivating disaster preparedness.”. Addressing these vulnerabilities is a key national interest of Cabo Verde and lead element of Cabo Verde’s climate ambition. Building resilience is a task that touches on economic, social and environmental aspects all at once.
