The Earthscan reader on adaptation to climate change

This reader pulls together and makes sense of some of the most significant writings on adaptation to climate change from the past two decades. An introduction maps out the field and traces the evolution of adaptation from a biological concept into a policy objective. The literature is divided into five sections:
- Adaptation Science
- Adaptation, Coping and Resilience
- Adaptation, Risk and Vulnerability
- Adaptation and Development
- Adaptation and Climate Change Policy

It is intended for students, policy makers, researchers, activists and NGOs and all people who need a solid grounding in all aspects of climate change adaptation.
