The start of the new millennium will be remembered for deadly climate-related disasters - the great floods in Thailand in 2011, Super Storm Sandy in the United States in 2012, and Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013, to name a few. In 2014, 17.5 million people were displaced by climate-related disasters, ten times more than the 1.7 million displaced by geophysical hazards.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This volume emphasizes that some crucial links in development tend to be systematically overlooked. This book will help policy makers and practitioners focus on the links that measure progress, apply lessons, and matter for lasting results.
