Science of adaptation to climate change and science for adaptation
*Correspondence: Rob Swart, Climate Change and Adaptive Land and Water Management Team, Alterra, Wageningen University and Research Centre, Droevendaalsesteeg 3a, Building 100, 6708 PB Wageningen, Netherlands e-mail: [email protected] Adaptation to climate change has gained a prominent place next to mitigation on global, national, and local policy agendas. However, while an abundance of adaptati...
متن کاملThe science of climate change in Africa: impacts and adaptation
the African climate is determined at the macro-level by three major processes or drivers: tropical convection, the alternation of the monsoons, and the el niño-southern oscillation of the Pacific ocean. the first two are local processes that determine the regional and seasonal patterns of temperature and rainfall. the last is more remote in its origin, but strongly influences the year to year r...

متن کاملAdaptation to Climate Change
We investigate the effect of climate change on population growth in 18th and 19th century Iceland. We find that annual temperature changes help determine the population growth rate in preindustrial Iceland: a year 1◦C cooler than average drives down population growth rates by 0.57% in each of the next two years, for a total effect of 1.14%. We also find that 18th and 19th century Icelanders ada...
متن کاملEcosystem-based adaptation to climate change: concept, scalability and a role for conservation science
Societal adaptation to climate change requires measures that simultaneously reduce poverty, protect or restore biodiversity and ecosystem services, and remove atmospheric greenhouse gases. Ecosystembased adaptation to climate change is the type of adaptation that aims to combine these outcomes and is particularly relevant to developing nations that safeguard most of the planetary biodiversity a...
