Human action has triggered a vast cascade of environmental problems that now threaten the continued ability of both natural and human systems. With the increased impacts of climate change related risk and disasters, interest has shifted to seeking for more effective and sustainable ways to respond to these disasters and climate-risk with focus on resilience-building. This paper examines the concept of climate change causes and its effects, resilience and resilience building, transformation learning and strategies of building community resilience to climate change induced and related disasters. It advocates for building community resilience through transformative learning to improve the adaptive, anticipatory, absorptive and transformative resilience capacities anchored on transformational risk evaluation, decision making and adaptation. Transformative learning has the potential to instigating changes in behaviour that are capable of reducing climate risk related activities.
