Boyd, E., Osbahr, H., Ericksen, P.J., Tompkins, E.L., Lemos, M.C. and Miller, F. 2008. Resilience and 'Climatizing' development: Examples and policy implications. Development 51(3):390-396.

There is a growing scientific consensus on climate change and the need for adaptation, yet an impasse on realizing development for the rural and urban poor. Emily Boyd et al. suggest that a resilience lens may assist development policy to consider pathways towards more successful livelihood transformations in the face of climate change. We recognize that there are also limitations to this approach.
