Decision support platforms for climate change adaptation: an overview and introduction

Abstract

The research literature on climate change adaptation has increased strongly in recent years, Despite this growth in research output, it remains the case that adaptation is essentially a practical activity, carried out in response to or in anticipation of the impacts of climate change (Tompkins et al. 2010; Corfee-Morlot et al. 2011), or in response to policy and investment requirements (EEA 2013;TCFD 2017).
