“‘Risk and Resilience in the Era of Climate Change’ is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the challenges posed by climate change and the importance of building resilience to these risks. The book is a valuable resource for policymakers, businesses, and individuals who are interested in learning more about climate change risk and resilience. It is also a timely and important contribution to the growing body of literature on this critical issue.” (Jubo Yan, The Singapore Economic Review, Vol. 69 (3), 2024) “The narrative in the book adeptly intertwines mounting scientific evidence with the pressing need for policies that reconcile economic growth with the mitigation of global warming's impacts. The author's adept articulation of the disconnect and his emphasis on its profound implications will impress readers, facilitating a compelling exploration of the current milieu. One of the book's strengths lies in its ability to dissect the multifaceted nature of this gap, scrutinizing … the broader ramifications for economic policies.” (Muthukumara Mani, global Policy, globalpolicyjournal.com, April 4, 2024)“This book is about securing the future of these vulnerable populations and ensuring their right to development gains, and in broader scheme, ensuring equity and that no one is left behind. … Thomas draws on his rich experience to build the framework for this construct. … The author has established what needs to change to address risk and embed resilience in the era of climate emergency. The multi-layered assessment is extremely helpful in understanding why these changes are needed.” (Preeti M Bhandari, Ecology, Economy, and Society - the INSEE Journal, Vol. 7 (1), January, 2024)“Based on three decades of the author’s work at the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, and underpinned by extensive academic research, the book is full of practical case studies as well as conceptual frameworks for understanding resilience. The importance of these issues will only increase as the climate crisis progresses and extreme weather events inevitably become more commonplace; this will serve as a valuable guide to those working in the field.” (Simon Sharpe, International Monetary Fund, imf.org, December, 2023)
