Titre : Climate adaptation futures Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : J. P. Palutikof ; Sarah Boulter ; Andrew J. Ash ; D. M. Stafford Smith ; M. L. Parry ; Marie Waschka ; Daniel Guitart Mention d'édition : First edition Importance : xi, 374 pages, [30] pages de planches Présentation : illustrations en partie en couleur, cartes en partie en couleur Format : 26 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-470-67496-3 Note générale : Index: pages 371-374 Mots-clés : Climate adaptation Index. décimale : 551 Résumé : Index: pages 371-374
Adaptation is the poor cousin of the climate change challenge –the glamour of international debate is around global mitigationagreements, while the bottom–up activities of adaptation, carriedout in community halls and local government offices, are oftenoverlooked. Yet, as international forums fail to deliver reductionsin greenhouse gas emissions, the world is realising that effectiveadaptation will be essential across all sectors to deal with theunavoidable impacts of climate change. The need to understand howto adapt effectively, and to develop appropriate adaptation optionsand actions, is becoming increasingly urgent.
This book reports the current state of knowledge on climatechange adaptation, and seeks to expose and debate key issues inadaptation research and practice. It is framed around a number ofcritical areas of adaptation theory and practice, including:
Advances in adaptation thinking,
Enabling frameworks and policy for adaptation,
Engaging and communicating with practitioners,
Key challenges in adaptation and development,
Management of natural systems and agriculture under climatechange,
Ensuring water security under a changing climate,
Urban infrastructure and livelihoods, and
The nexus between extremes, disaster management andadaptation.
It includes contributions from many of the leading thinkers andpractitioners in adaptation today. The book is based on keycontributions from the First International Conference on ClimateChange Adaptation Climate Adaptation Futures , held onthe Gold Coast, Australia, in June 2010. That three–day meeting ofover 1000 researchers and practitioners in adaptation from 50countries was the first of its kind.
Readership: The book is essential reading for a widerange of individuals involved in climate change adaptation,including:
Researchers,
Communication specialists,
Decision–makers and policy makers (e.g. government staff, localcouncil staff),
On–ground adaptation practitioners (e.g. aid agencies,government workers, NGOs),
Postgraduate and graduate students, and
Consultants.Climate adaptation futures [texte imprimé] / J. P. Palutikof ; Sarah Boulter ; Andrew J. Ash ; D. M. Stafford Smith ; M. L.
