Learning to adapt

This publication is part of a book which explains the dilemmas faced when converting strategies into policies.

The book illustrates the differences between adaptation and mitigation, offers regional and global case studies of how adaptation and mitigation are inter-linked, and suggests six different metaphors for the strategic options to make climate change work for us, rather than against us.
