The Demography of Adaptation to Climate Change Paperback / softback
by United Nations Population Fund
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
A flurry of extreme weather events, together with projections that grow more sombre with every new scientific advance, have dramatically highlighted the need to respond more effectively to climate change.
Reacting to events after they occur is no longer sufficient; we increasingly need to anticipate and reduce the suffering and the enormously damaging impacts coming events will cause.
This book addresses a major gap in adaptation efforts to date by pointing to the vital role that an understanding of population dynamics and an extensive use of demographic data have in developing pre-emptive and effective adaptation policies and practices.
It provides key concepts linking demography and adaptation, data foundations and techniques for analysing climate vulnerability, as well as case studies where these concepts and analyses illuminate who is vulnerable and how to help build their resilience.
