Making climate change work for us : European perspectives on adaptation and mitigation strategies / [Book] edited by Michael Hulme and Henry Neufeldt - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, c2010. - xxxii, 413 pages : illustrations (some colors), maps ; 25 cm. - ADAM book series from Cambridge University Press. . - ADAM book series from Cambridge University Press .
Introducing the main challenges and opportunities of developing local, regional and global strategies for addressing climate change, this book explains the dilemmas faced when converting strategies into policies. Providing a synthesis of the findings of the three-year European Commission ADAM (Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies) research project and written by many leading interdisciplinary climate change research teams, European strategies for tackling climate change are placed within a global context. The book illustrates the differences between adaptation and mitigation, offers regional and global case studies of how adaptation and mitigation are inter-linked, and suggests six different metaphors for the strategic options to make climate change work for us, rather than against us. Offering practical solutions to climate change - both adaptation and mitigation - within the policy contexts in which these solutions have to be implemented, this book is valuable for researchers in varied related fields, as well policymakers in government, industry and NGOs.
