Capa do James D. Ford & Lea Berrang-Ford: Climate Change Adaptation in Developed Nations (PDF)

While there is a well established body of scholarship proposing assessment approaches and explaining concepts, few studies have examined if and how adaptation is taking place at a national or regional level.
