Synopsis

Climate change refers to the shift in temperature over a prolonged period of time. The process of adjusting to the changes in climate is known as climate change adaptation. The actions taken to adapt to climate change can be categorized as either transformative or incremental. The former responds to climate change by trying to change the fundamental attributes of a system while the latter seeks to maintain the integrity of a system. One of the important factors which need to be considered while making policies related to climate change adaptation is adaptive capacity. It encompasses the ability of any system to adjust to climate change in order to reduce damage or deal with the outcomes. This book contains some path-breaking studies on climate change and the ethics of climate change adaptation. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
