Förlagets beskrivning
Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability is the most
comprehensive and up-to-date scientific assessment of the consequences of, and
adaptation responses to, climate change. The report: - Evaluates evidence that
recent observed changes in climate have already affected a variety of physical
and biological systems. - Studies the vulnerabilities of human populations to
future climate change, including associated sea-level rise and climate extremes
such as floods. - Takes into account potential impacts on water resources,
agriculture and food, human health, settlements, and economic activities. -
Assesses potential responses to climate change of natural environments and the
wildlife that inhabit them and identifies environments at particular risk. -
Considers how adaptation to climate change might lessen adverse impacts or
enhance beneficial impacts. - Provides an overview of the vulnerabilities and
adaptation possibilities for all major regions of the world. - Contrasts the
different vulnerabilities of the developed and developing parts of the world
and explores the implications for sustainable development and equity
concerns. This latest IPCC assessment will again form the standard scientific
reference for all concerned with environmental and social consequences of
climate change, including students and researchers in environmental and social
sciences, and policymakers and managers in governmental, industry and other
organizations responsible for resources likely to be affected by climate
change. Brings us up-to-date on the vulnerability of socio-economic and natural
systems to climate change.
