"European Climate Vulnerabilities and Adaptation: A Spatial
Planning Perspective" analyses the impacts climate change might
have on regions and their local economies. Regions clearly differ
in view of the complex patterns of climate change impact, but also
regarding the given vulnerability and coping capacity.
Impacts of climate change can have a marked effect on the
functioning of regions and sectors of the society, if not properly
addressed. Readiness to adapt to the impacts and lasting changes
counts towards vulnerability of the regions.
The book builds upon the findings of a project conducted under
the European observation network for territorial development and
cohesion (ESPON), The ESPON Climate project. Following the
stipulations of the ESPON programme and the tender for this project
the territorial focus is the raison d'etre and methodological core
of the project as a whole and its various research actions: The
outcomes of each action will be focused on what impacts global
climate change will have for the different European regions and how
the regions can cope with the projected impacts in order to become
less vulnerable to climate change.This book: Provides a
comprehensive analysis of climate change impacts on 29 European
regions and their local economiesTakes an interdisciplinary
approach dealing with the physical, social, economic,
environmental, cultural and institutional aspects of climate change
vulnerability and the consequences for spatial planningBuilds on
the findings of the ESPON Climate project with a policy focused
approachIs in full colour throughout with a broad range of case
studies
