Living with Climate Change

How Communities Are Surviving and Thriving in a Changing Climate

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The climate has changed and communities across America are living with the consequences: rapid sea level rise, multi-state wildfires, heat waves, and enduring drought. The authors of this book have been directly involved in the successful design and implementation of community-based adaptation and resilience programs. This book details the steps cities and states are taking and should be taking to protect lives and businesses, reduce their vulnerability, and make themselves more resilient to a climate that is changing more rapidly and erratically than predicted.
