Climate change could have a substantial economic impact,
particularly on coastal states where seas level rises will be felt
most strongly. Among these, the British Isles are likely to be
significantly affected, and they provide an excellent case study of
the consequences for specific sectors of the economy. In this book,
leading experts - including several authors of reports by the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the UK Climate Change
Impacts Review Group - examine the background and alternative
scenarios for change, as well as its implications. They look in
detail at water supply and management, agriculture and land use,
energy, and the finance and insurance sector. In each case, they
show how current activities will have to adapt and they conclude by
evaluating the arguments for prevention now vs adaptation later.
The changes in store could be huge, requiring the attention of
academics and professionals from a wide range of disciplines and
industries, as well as government action. This book makes a major
contribution to understanding what is at stake.
