About The Book

<p>Climate change is now upon us. While mitigation is essential to reduce the future severity of climate change it will take time and some effects will inevitably continue for centuries. Consequently more attention is now being directed to adaptation as a means of reducing losses. As the importance of adaptation becomes more apparent there is need for wider appreciation and understanding of the concept and its potential as well as the obstacles to its effective deployment.</p> <p>This reader the first of its kind gathers some 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:</p> <p>* Adaptation Theory <br>* Adaptation Vulnerability and Resilience <br>* Adaptation and Disaster Risk <br>* Adaptation and Development <br>* Adaptation and Climate Change Policy</p> <p>This 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.</p>
