addressed from various perspectives: economic, social and
cultural, environmental, agronomic and climate change.
Very rarely is there a comprehensive, approach, which also
includes the crucial issue of politics. This book provides a
multidsciplinary overview of the new global challenges connected with land, food
supply and agriculture. It aspires to move forward the debate that has started with
the G20 meetings.

and in Society

and personal journey of observation, investigation and reflection on an increasingly
complex phenomenon and trace how Hulme has arrived at his current position. The

Climate Change Adaptation Manual
Lessons Learned from European and Other Industrialized Countries
Edited by Andrea Prutsch, Sabine McCallum, Environment Agency, Austria,
Robert Jan Swart, Alterra - Wageningen University and Research Centre, the
Netherlands and Torsten Grothmann, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact
Research, Germany
In the face of lack of success in climate change mitigation efforts, this book seeks to
address the importance of climate chance adaptation as one of the main imperatives
of international research and action. Whereas most books in the field focus on
adaptation in developing countries, this handbook provides an examination of
predominantly European policy and offers inter-disciplinary insight into cutting
edge knowledge and lessons learnt in a relatively new field of implementation.
