Integrated assessments of the impacts of, and adaptation to,
climate change and variability at urban and regional scales are
presented in this comprehensive volume. Six thematically distinct
yet methodologically related projects illustrate 'horizontal'
integration, which focuses on impacts and responses across
different sectors, and 'vertical' integration, which traces changes
from the climate system through to the economy and society. Areas
of application include water resource allocation, wildfire
management, agriculture, public health and urban infrastructure in
the United States. In its development of methodologies and their
applications to individual regions, this book presents a rich set
of insights and a set of guides for investment and policymaking.
Each of the six studies focuses on a finer geographic scale than is
customary in integrated assessment research. They introduce
innovations for impact analysis and contribute to the knowledge of
localized experiences of climate change - how it affects a variety
of sectors, how different stakeholders perceive its implications
and adapt to it, and how decision support systems can promote
dialogues between researchers, stakeholders and policymakers. The
contributors' conclusions will be of great interest to urban and
regional planners, environmental scientists and engineers, physical
and human geographers, ecologists, environmental and natural
resource economists, public administrators, public service
providers and utility managers, among others.
