Climate change highlights the challenges for long-term policy
making in the face of persistent and irreducible levels of
uncertainties. It calls for the development of flexible approaches,
innovative governance and other elements that contribute to
effective and adaptive decision-making. Exploring these new
approaches is also a challenge for those involved in climate
research and development of adaptation policy. The book provides a
dozen real-life examples of adaptation decision making in the form
of case studies: * Water supply management in Portugal, England and
Wales and Hungary * Flooding, including flood risk in Ireland,
coastal flooding and erosion in Southwest France, and flood
management in Australia's Hutt River region * Transport and
utilities, including the Austrian Federal railway system, public
transit in Dresden, and Quebec hydro-electric power * Report
examining communication of large numbers of climate scenarios in
Dutch climate adaptation workshops.
