Description

Climate change is now upon us. At the same time as mitigation is very important to reduce the future severity of climate change, it is going to take time and a few effects will inevitably continue for centuries. As a result, more attention is now being directed to adaptation as a means of reducing losses. As the importance of adaptation becomes more apparent, there may be need for wider appreciation and understanding of the concept that and its potential, in addition to the obstacles to its effective deployment. This reader, the first of its kind, gathers one of the most significant writings on adaptation to climate change from the past two decades. Following an introduction tracing the evolution of adaptation from a biological concept into a policy objective, the book is divided into five parts: * Adaptation Theory * Adaptation, Vulnerability and Resilience * Adaptation and Disaster Risk * Adaptation and Development * Adaptation and Climate Change Policy That is the ideal collection for students, policymakers, researchers, activists and NGOs, and all people who need a solid grounding in all aspects of climate change adaptation.
