It showcases successful examples of how to manage the social, economic and political complexities posed by climate change, so that lessons can be learned and best practices may be disseminated. A focus is on “fostering resilience and the regional capacity to adapt,” meaning that experiences from research, field projects and best practices in climate change adaptation and resilience among countries in the region are presented which may help advance the integration of climate science into socio-economic policies in the public and private sectors.Climate Change Management,1610-2002Climate changeIndustrial management—Environmental aspectsNatural resourcesAmerica—Economic conditionsClimate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Climate Change Management and Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000Corporate Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/528000Natural Resource and Energy Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010North American Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W45060Climate change.Industrial management—Environmental aspects.Natural resources.America—Economic conditions.Climate Change.Climate Change Management and Policy.Corporate Environmental Management.Natural Resource and Energy Economics.North American Economics.577.27Leal Filho Walteredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKeenan Jesse Medthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910254005303321Climate Change Adaptation in North America2545809UNINA
