Download or read book Local Climate Change Adaptation Planning written by Hartmut Fünfgeld and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The earth's climate is continuously changing but accelerated rates of climate change over the last century due to human activity are of significant concern. As a global issue that will affect people and places in different parts of the world, including in Victoria, current trends and projections suggest a warmer, drier future, with an increasing likelihood of more extreme events such as heatwaves, bushfires, flooding, and coastal storm surges. At the local and regional scale, climate change adaptation interventions are most successful if they are based on a thorough understanding of local context. This includes understanding the characteristics of ecosystems, the social fabric of communities, the key industries and sectors operating in an area, and the institutional capacities of the individuals and organisations involved in responding to climate change impacts. It is important that governments take local factors into account when making decision on adapting to climate variability and change.

Download or read book Use of Climate Science in Adaptation Planning and Decision Making written by Jonathan Overpeck and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate science is changing fast, with both climate variability and climate change driving the need to develop adaptation capability. This trend is, in turn, driving a need for physical climate scientists to expand their roles. The goal of this work is to draw on extensive experience of those involved in climate adaptation efforts in the U.S. and Australia to provide insight into the expanding roles that need to be served by physical climate scientists in our respective counties and more globally.
Download or read book Action Research for Climate Change Adaptation written by Arwin van Buuren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments all over the world are struggling with the question of how to adapt to climate change. They need information not only about the issue and its possible consequences, but also about feasible governance strategies and instruments to combat it. At the same time, scientists from different social disciplines are trying to understand the dynamics and peculiarities of the governance of climate change adaptation. This book demonstrates how action-oriented research methods can be used to satisfy the need for both policy-relevant information and scientific knowledge. Bringing together eight case studies that show inspiring practices of action research from around the world, including Australia, Denmark, Vietnam and the Netherlands, the book covers a rich variety of action-research applications, running from participatory observation to serious games and role-playing exercises. It explores many adaptation challenges, from flood-risk safety to heat stress and freshwater availability, and draws out valuable lessons about the conditions that make action research successful, demonstrating how scientific and academic knowledge can be used in a practical context to reach useful and applicable insights. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of climate change, environmental policy, politics and governance.

It aims to work closely with government partners to identify options for knowledge transfer to support decision-making through accessible practitioner and policy related publications.
Download or read book A Careful Revolution written by Amelia Sharman and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2019 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I am 29 years old. I was born just before the Kyoto Protocol was signed, and since then global mean temperatures have risen by an estimated 0.2°C per decade . . . in my lifetime I am likely to experience a world that is 2°C warmer, perhaps as much as 4°C, and has more droughts, fires and floods.’ Sylvia Nissen Climate crisis is upon us. By choice or necessity, New Zealand will transition to a low-emissions future. But can this revolution be careful? Can it be attentive to the disruptions it inevitably creates? Or will carefulness simply delay and dilute the changes that future people require of us? This timely collection brings together eleven authors to explore the politics and practicalities of the low-emissions transition, touching on issues of justice, tikanga, trade-offs, finance, futurism, adaptation, and more.

Download or read book Climate Adaptation Governance in Cities and Regions written by Jörg Knieling and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global climate change creates new challenges in particular for cities and regions. As centres of human activity they are especially vulnerable to climate change impacts. Adapting to a changing climate requires dealing with multiple uncertainties and complexity in order to allow proactive action. Therefore, cities and regions around the globe face the challenge of exploring flexible and innovative forms of governance which have to address specific local or regional vulnerabilities and build capacity to accommodate future change. This raises questions about the roles of stakeholders, the involvement of citizens, the composition and use of formal and informal instruments as well as the implementation of different forms of organization and regulation at the local and regional level. This book provides case studies from cities and regions all around the world. It analyses climate change adaptation from a perspective of organizing, administering and implementing local and regional adaptation strategies and measures. It looks into actors, actor-constellations, institutions and networks of climate adaptation. And, it provides the reader with knowledge about good practices and experiences to be transferred for solving adaptation challenges in cities and regions around the globe.
Download or read book Applied Studies in Climate Adaptation written by Jean P. Palutikof and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book advances knowledge about climate change adaptation practices through a series of case studies. It presents important evidence about adaptation practices in agriculture, businesses, the coastal zone, community services, disaster management, ecosystems, indigneous populations, and settlements and infrastructure. In addition to 38 case studies across these sectors, the book contains horizon-scoping essays from international experts in adaptation research, including Hallie Eakin, Susanne Moser, Jonathon Overpeck, Bill Solecki, and Gary Yohe. Australia’s social-ecological systems have a long history of adapting to climate variability and change, and in recent decades has been a world-leader in implementing and researching adaptation, making this book of universal relevance to all those working to adapt our environment and societies to climate change.
