Even if we get serious about fighting climate change, it's clear that we will need to adapt to the changes already underway in our environment. This book considers how individual economic choices in response to climate change will transform the larger economy.0 Using the tools of microeconomics, Matthew E. Kahn explores how decisions about where we live, how our food is grown, and where new business ventures choose to locate are impacted by climate change. Kahn suggests new ways that big data can be deployed to ease energy or water shortages to aid agricultural operations and proposes informed policy changes related to public infrastructure, disaster relief, and real estate to nudge land use, transportation options, and business development in the right direction.Climatic changesEconomic aspectsMicroeconomicsclimate changeengEUROVOCeconomic conditionsengEUROVOCmicroeconomicsengEUROVOCClimatic changesEconomic aspects.Microeconomics.climate change.economic conditions.microeconomics.363.73874Kahn Matthew E.1219470MiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLW9910554268003321Adapting to climate change2819722UNINA
