Global Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change de Tara Rava Zolnikov

Global Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change: Palgrave Studies in Climate Resilient Societies

Editat de Tara Rava Zolnikov
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 ian 2019
This book explores the link between climate change and resiliency on each continent of the world. It reviews how climate change affects populations, not only through environmental exposures and health outcomes, but how people live their lives. Zolnikov brings together a set of experts to offer a novel perspective on understanding climate change vulnerability alongside adaption measures being implemented. Each chapter includes an overview on how climate change will affect that continent alongside current adaptation, mitigation, and policies that seek to improve population outcomes. As a whole, the book explores why a “one size fits all” approach to promote climate change resiliency does not work; however, a global perspective can facilitate people learning from one another and facing climate change together.
