Climate Change Adaptation

This lecture covers the topic of climate change adaptation, focusing on the uncertainties in temperature and sea level rise projections, the differences between mitigation and adaptation strategies, and the economic impacts of adaptation measures. The instructor discusses the use of climate models, GIS tools, and downscaling techniques to model adaptation scenarios, as well as the importance of considering uncertainties in future projections. The lecture also highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches in analyzing adaptation strategies and emphasizes the significance of proper coastal management to mitigate the economic impacts of sea level rise.
