Managing Climate Risks in Coastal Communities - Strategies for Engagement, Readiness and Adaptation

Informationen zum Autor Lawrence Susskind, Danya Rumore, Carri Hulet and Patrick Field Klappentext Drawing on research from the New England Climate Adaptation Project, this book introduces a framework for building local capacity to respond to climate change. It argues that most of the responsibility for responding to climate risks must be taken by local stakeholders, and that climate adaptation efforts require collective rather than individual commitments to risk management.
