Climate change is real and it is man-made. We have put so many
greenhouse gas pollutants into the atmosphere that we will see
significant and long-term change that we need to adapt and adjust
to. It is important for development practitioners to understand
these impacts and the challenge of how and when to adapt to climate
change. There are plenty of grim presentations of what the extremes
of the possible climate scenarios will throw at us over the next
100 years, but not all change will be disastrous; some change will
be beneficial, but much of the change will happen at an
unprecedented rate that will require the best possible analysis and
understanding of how and when we should adapt to climate change.
This is important for development practitioners as we invest in
ensuring that poverty is reduced and eliminated and the well-being
of everyone is improved. Many countries and communities around the
world are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, but
developing economies may on one hand be less resilient to the
impact, but could on the other hand be in a better position to make
their development climate smart by making the most efficient use of
their economic resources. The chapters in this book shine a light
on the complexity and the multi-dimensional aspects of climate
change adaptation. They gather some of the experiences of
addressing climate change impacts in a development context. This
book was previously published as a special issue of Development in
Practice.
