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 change2819722UNINA04798nam 22007812 450 991014181740332120230621135336.09781922064318 ‡q (ebook)1922064319 ‡q (ebook)97819220643011922064300(CKB)2670000000410016(SSID)ssj0000894226(PQKBManifestationID)11480251(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000894226(PQKBWorkID)10839233(PQKB)10241142(UkCbUP)CR9781922064318(EXLCZ)9781922064318(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/26636(EXLCZ)99267000000041001620130326d2012|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBridging transcultural divides Asian languages and cultures in global highter education /edited by Xianlin Song and Ket Cadman[electronic resource]University of Adelaide Press2012Adelaide :The University of Adelaide Press,2012.1 online resource (xvi, 286 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015).Print version: 1922064300 Print version: 9781922064301 Includes bibliographical references.Pt.

Education with(out) distinction: Beyond graduate attributes for Chinese international students / Xianlin Song and Kate Cadman.The impressive and stimulating essays in Bridging Transcultural Divides deal with the cultural and educational issues in the Australian context. The book’s central message is that education for Asian students in Australia, and more broadly in the West, can no longer been seen as a one-way transfer of knowledge, but must be understood as a process of reciprocal learning in which both teachers and students are changed by the experience.Oriental languagesStudy and teaching (Highter)AsiaCivilizationStudy and teaching (Highter)AsiaCivilizationStudy and teaching (Higher)social studiescultural studiespedagogylanguage curriculumchinesetranscultural exchangeindonesianstudy skillsplagiarismasian languagesglobalisationjapaneseaustralian universitiesChinaCritical thinkingInternational studentKanjiOriental languagesStudy and teaching (Highter)495Xianlin SongedtSong XianlinCadman KateUniversity of Adelaide Press,UkCbUPUkCbUP9910141817403321Bridging transcultural divides2160685UNINA
