Learning how to live with these impacts is a priority for human development. In this context, it is too easy to see adaptation as a narrowly defensive task - protecting core assets or functions from the risks of climate change. A more profound engagement, which sees climate change risks as a product and driver of social as well as natural systems, and their interaction, is called for. Adaptation to Climate Change argues that, without care, adaptive actions can deny the deeper political and cultural roots that callAcclimatizationClimate change mitigationClimatic changesHuman beingsClimatic factorsAcclimatization.Climate change mitigation.Climatic changes.Human beingsClimatic factors.304.2/5Pelling Mark1967-,520170MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785446003321Adaptation to climate change842705UNINA
