This topical and engaging Research Handbook illustrates the variety
of research approaches in the field of climate change adaptation
policy in order to provide a guide to its social and institutional
complexity. A range of international expert contributors offer
interdisciplinary explorations of climate change adaptation policy
from policy sciences, legal, and practitioner perspectives. Using
examples from a variety of sectors including water, health and land
use, and multiple levels of governance and country contexts, from
international to local, and developing to developed countries, the
chapters examine a wealth of theoretical orientations towards
climate change adaptation policy and their underpinnings. In doing
so, this Research Handbook provides an understanding of the
complexity of the institutions, decision-makers and assumptions
that are involved in adaptation research as well as adaptation
policy development and implementation. This Research Handbook will
be an indispensable resource for both researchers and practitioners
in climate change adaptation with an interest in the research
methods and policies that support and advance it. Undergraduate and
postgraduate students of environmental studies, public policy and
politics will also find this book provides a valuable foundation
for building a deeper knowledge of adaptation science and policy.
