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. 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: * Adaptation Theory
* Adaptation, Vulnerability and Resilience * Adaptation and
Disaster Risk * Adaptation and Development * Adaptation and Climate
Change Policy 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.
