In Resilience: The Science of Adaptation to Climate Change leading
experts analyze and question ongoing adaptation interventions.
Contributions span different disciplinary perspectives, from law to
engineering, and cover different regions from Africa to the
Pacific. Chapters assess the need for adaptation, highlighting
climate change impacts such as sea level rise, increases in
temperature, changing hydrological variability, and threats to food
security. The book then discusses the state of global legislation
and means of tracking progress. It reviews ways to build resilience
in a range of contexts- from the Arctic, to small island states, to
urban areas, across food and energy systems. Critical tools for
adaptation planning are highlighted - from social capital and
ethics, to decision support systems, to innovative finance and risk
transfer mechanisms. Controversies related to geoengineering and
migration are also discussed. This book is an indispensable
resource for scientists, practitioners, and policy makers working
in climate change adaptation, sustainable development, ecosystem
management, and urban planning.
