    (2025) Beck, Donizete; Pal, Anindita; Zaveri, Purvi; Zheng, Anran; Tiwari, Atul K.; Majumdar, Sushobhan
    This chapter examines the strategies and innovations necessary for enhancing ecosystem resilience to climate change, focusing on developing countries. It highlights the importance of biodiversity and structural diversity in increasing resilience, suggesting that management practices promoting heterogeneity can mitigate climate warming impacts. Ecosystem restoration is highlighted as a critical strategy involving identifying and removing stressors such as pollution and land degradation. Techniques like plant establishment, topsoil replacement and reestablishment of microbial flora are essential for restoring ecosystem health and ensuring long-term recovery. Capacity building through educational programs is crucial for promoting sustainable practices and fostering climate-resilient ecosystems. Higher education institutions play a significant role in embedding sustainability principles and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration despite challenges like limited resources. Technological solutions, particularly AI, are emphasized for their potential to improve climate predictions and support proactive adaptation strategies. These technologies can enhance decision-making strategies. While the theoretical underpinnings of ecosystem resilience are extensively documented, there still needs to be a more practical application of effective strategies within resource-constrained environments, necessitating the promotion of customized methodologies to tackle the distinct obstacles encountered by developing nations. Obstacles to the implementation process, such as inadequate education, insufficient infrastructure, and the lack of localized data, are acknowledged as significant challenges. Addressing these challenges necessitates a dedication to capacity building and promoting accessible technological innovations. This paper advocates for a multifaceted approach that integrates ecosystem restoration, capacity building, technological solutions, and community-based strategies to enhance ecosystem resilience and climate change mitigation efforts in developing countries.
