书目名称 | Societal Adaptation to Climate Variability and Change | 编辑 | Sally M. Kane,Gary W. Yohe | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Changes in climate and climate variability have an effect onpeople‘s behaviour around the world, and public institutions have animportant part to play in influencing our ability to respond to andplan for climate risk. We may be able to reduce climate risk byseeking to mitigate the threat on the one hand, and by adapting to achanged climate on the other. Another theme of the book is theintegrated role of adaptation and mitigation in framing issues andperforming analyses. Adaptation costs fall most heavily on the poorand special attention needs to be paid to adaptation by the poorestpopulations. An integrating framework is also presented to provide thecontext for an expansive typology of terms to apply to adaptation. The12 papers collected here use methods from a variety of disciplines andfocus on different time frames for decision making, from short term tothe very long term. ..Readership:. Technically trained readers familiar with the policyissues surrounding climate change and interested in learning thescientific underpinnings of issues related to societal adaptation. | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | 关键词 | adaptation; climate; climate change; climate variability; production; water; ecotoxicology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-3010-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-5494-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-017-3010-5 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2000 |
