Managing Climate Risks in Coastal Communities

Strategies for Engagement, Readiness and Adaptation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on research from the New England Climate Adaptation Project, this book introduces a framework for building local capacity to respond to climate change. It argues that most of the responsibility for responding to climate risks must be taken by local stakeholders, and that climate adaptation efforts require collective rather than individual commitments to risk management.
