Resumo

Recurrently drought, high food prices, conflict, and market distortions are some of the mutually reinforcing factors of vulnerability and instability affecting the building of sustainable development pathways in the world. In this regard, the linkages between Climate Change, Risk Reduction, and Sustainable Development are cross-cutting and complex. Through a situational analysis, the paper seeks a correlation between the observed impacts of climate change and disaster events on the development levels of a Sahelian Archipelagic Country —Cabo Verde —in recent decades (1970 to present). It seeks to demonstrate policymakers and civil society the crucial role of combined Disaster Risk Management (DRM) methodologies, National risk profile analysis, and Human Development Index (HDI) methodology and development policies as mutually supportive tools to build resilience. In its core components, the study seeks the understanding of emerging causes of risks by addressing resource gaps in the development of Caboverdian context-based DRR solutions and approaches to increase capacity to build Climate-Resilient Pathways in similar circumstances.
