Applied Studies in Climate Adaptation de JUL Palutikof

Applied Studies in Climate Adaptation

Autor JUL Palutikof
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 dec 2014
The book advances knowledge about climate change adaptation practices through a series of case studies. It presents important evidence about adaptation practices in agriculture, businesses, the coastal zone, community services, disaster management, ecosystems, indigneous populations, and settlements and infrastructure. In addition to 38 case studies across these sectors, the book contains horizon-scoping essays from international experts in adaptation research, including Hallie Eakin, Susanne Moser, Jonathon Overpeck, Bill Solecki, and Gary Yohe. Australia's social-ecological systems have a long history of adapting to climate variability and change, and in recent decades has been a world-leader in implementing and researching adaptation, making this book of universal relevance to all those working to adapt our environment and societies to climate change.

Public țintă

All of the 148 project reports are freely available on the web in their original form.  However, the great value of the proposed book is that it will bring together, organise and evaluate the core material from the most globally relevant of these projects. Authors will be asked to write their contributions taking into account the global nature of their audience using the example of Australia to draw globally–relevant conclusions.  The intended audience for the book is decision makers working in climate change adaptation, primarily at all levels of government from international to local, but also in the private sector.
The expectation is that the book will make a substantial contribution to global thinking around adaptation and, this being the case, the book will also be read by researchers working in adaptation. There is clear potential for it to become a set text for undergraduate and Masters courses in Environmental Sciences, Planning and Climate Change.
