Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. As such, both the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the 25th Conference of the Parties (COP 25) recommendations call for action not only from government, but also from various stakeholders. Apart from the knowledge offered by modeling and forecasts, which allows the readers to understand the problem and how it is likely to develop in the future, the book highlights approaches, methods and tools that can help readers cope with the social, economic and political problems posed by climate change. In other words, the book's goal is to accelerate developments in the field of climate change adaptation.This book gathers papers presented at the '2nd World Symposium on Climate Change Adaptation', a joint initiative by the University of Coimbra (Portugal), the Research and Transfer Centre 'Sustainable Development and Climate Change Management'at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany), and the International Climate Change Information Programme (ICCIP). The book is truly interdisciplinary, covering various key areas in the field of climate change adaptation. Its focus is on 'integrative approaches to implementing climate change adaptation', and is expected to contribute to the further development of this fast-growing field.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - It is now widely accepted that adaptation will be necessary if we are to manage the risks posed by climate change. What we know about adaptation, however, is limited. While there is a well established body of scholarship proposing assessment approaches and explaining concepts, few studies have examined if and how adaptation is taking place at a national or regional level. This deficit in understanding is particularly pronounced in developed nations which have typically been assumed to have a low vulnerability to climate change. Yet as recent research highlights, this assumption is misplaced: developed nations are experiencing the most pronounced changes in climatic conditions globally and have significant pockets of vulnerability. Chapters in this book profile cases from different sectors in developed nations where specific adaptation measures have been identified, implemented, and evaluated. The contributions provide practical advice and guidance that can help guide adaptation planning in multiple contexts, identifying transferable lessons. It is a comprehensive and timely piece of work on an emerging body of literature that is critical for both academics and policy makers to be aware of and learn from in regards to the importance of adaptation and adaptation needs associated with climate change and variability. It is a strong step forward in bringing together this literature and thinking in one collective piece of writing.Chris Furgal, Trent University, CanadaLead Author IPCC 4th Assessment ReportThis volume is ambitious in scope and distinctive in focus. It is not about climate change science or mitigation or impacts. but focuses clearly on the processes of adaptation. This volume represents a valuable compilation of ideas, methods and applications dealing with adaptation to climate change in developed nations.Barry Smit, University of Guelph, CanadaCanada Research Chair in Global Environmental ChangeThis book provides key insights from leading scholars who are addressing an important but neglected question: How easy is it to adapt to climate change in practice Focusing on evidence from developed countries, the contributions provide reasons for both optimism and concern, and lessons that are critical for anyone interested in climate change policy and a sustainable future.Karen O Brien, University of Oslo, NorwayChair of Global Environmental Change and Human Security.
