| Contemporary climate change encompasses global warming and its effects on Earth's weather patterns. Climate change adaptation refers to the process of adjusting to existing or anticipated effects of climate change. It has the ability to significantly decrease many of the negative effects of climate change and increase the favorable effects. Climate adaptation entails behavioral changes in individuals and constructing better infrastructure to manage altering weather patterns. Adaptive capacity is also inextricably linked to economic and social development. The solutions for climate change adaptation usually differ for different communities, organizations, countries, and regions. Adaptation measures may include building flood defenses, switching to drought-resistant crops, redesigning communication systems, setting up early warning systems for cyclones, and reconsidering business operations and government policies. Climate change can be viewed in two ways, as a problem of development, and as a problem for development. The policies and practices with respect to development play an important role in addressing climate change. This book strives to provide a fair idea and help develop a better understanding of the latest advances in the study of climate change adaptation and development. It is a resource guide for experts as well as students. |
