Abstract

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.

Highlights

  • Climate change is considered as a global challenge

  • The desk review has guided by certain criteria such as (a) is this study focuses on big data for climate resilience? (b) Is this study articulate climate change adaptation using big data approaches? and (c) Is full text of this study available? Certain exclusion criteria have been followed such as articles other than English language, duplication and article having a similar concept

  • The potential of big data can be a key approach to handle the adverse effect of climate change globally

Summary

Introduction

Climate change is considered as a global challenge. The developing countries are facing increasing vulnerability due to global climate change. Since the nature of global climate change is very complex, it requires a context-specific innovative approach to develop the adaptive, absorptive and transformative capacity of the social system. The enhanced capacities of a social unit make itself resilient against the adverse effect of climate change [1]. The adaptation strategy of vulnerable communities cannot help properly from huge direct and indirect damages of natural disasters as it is due to climate change [2]. Technology can help to develop a strategy for disaster management from early warning about the disaster to post-disaster management. In every step of disaster management, policymakers, leaders, researchers, and administrators can use technology for managing the adverse effect of climate change
