Adaptation to Climate Change

More about the book

Focusing on the interplay between climate change adaptation and social justice, the book explores how adaptive actions can overlook essential political and cultural dynamics. It introduces a resilience-transition-transformation framework to navigate the complexities of adaptation choices, emphasizing stability, incremental change, and transformative rights claims. Three in-depth case studies highlight diverse contexts of adaptation, ranging from organizational responses to urban governance and national policies, illustrating the multifaceted nature of addressing human vulnerability to climate risks.
