Abstract

Climate change adaptation has become an important public policy domain, since IPCC scientists published findings in 2007 that showed that the Earth's climate was already changing and that, due to the inertia in the global climate system, it will not be possible to avoid all impacts even with the most drastic of greenhouse gas emissions reductions.
