Adaptive
Governance and Climate Change
by Ronald D. Brunner and Amanda H. Lynch
As greenhouse gas emissions and temperatures at
the poles
continue to rise, so do damages from extreme weather events affecting
countless
lives. Meanwhile, ambitious international efforts to cut emissions (Kyoto, Copenhagen)
have proved to be politically ineffective or infeasible. There is hope,
however,
in adaptive governance—an approach that has succeeded in some local
communities
and can be undertaken by others around the globe. This book provides a
political and historical analysis of climate change policy, shows how
adaptive
governance has worked on the ground in Barrow, Alaska, and other local communities,
and
makes the case for adaptive governance as a complementary approach in
the
climate change regime.
