Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience through Big Data

The adverse effect of climate change is gradually increasing all over the world and developing countries are more sufferer. The potential of big data can be an effective tool to make an appropriate adaptation strategy and enhance the resilience of the people. This study aims to explore the potential of big data for taking proper strategy against climate change effects as well as enhance people’s resilience in the face of the adverse effect of climate change. A systematic literature review has been conducted in the last ten years of existing kinds of literature. This study argues that resilience is a process of bounce back to the previous condition after facing any adverse effect. It also focuses on the integrated function of the adaptive, absorptive and transformative capacity of a social unit such as individual, community or state for facing any natural disaster. Big data technologies have the capacity to show the information regarding upcoming issues, current issues and recovery stages of the adverse effect of climate change. The findings of this study will enable policymakers and related stakeholders to take appropriate adaptation strategies for enhancing the resilience of the people of the affected areas.
