The book deals with the varied economic challenges that arise from the implication of adaptation policies, making a timely and important contribution to the study of climate change economics. Bringing together the world's leading international experts in the area and including the most up to date research that has emerged over the last couple of years, the book should prove essential reading for researchers and policy makers in the field of environmental economics and climate change.

Anil Markandya, one of the world's experts on the economics of climate change, has assembled a group of his peers to analyze the complex, under-researched issues involved in deciding how best to adapt to the now-unavoidable changes in climate. Adaptation to a warmer world is a very critical item on our policy agenda, one that does not have nearly the prominence that it merits. This volume is a step in redressing that imbalance.
