Notes
- Abstract:
- Informing the extensive preparations
needed to manage climate risks, avoid
damages, and realize emerging opportunities
is a grand challenge for climate change
science. U.S. President Obama underscored
the need for this research when he made climate
preparedness a pillar of his climate policy.
Adaptation improves preparedness and is
one of two broad and increasingly important
strategies (along with mitigation) for climate
risk management. Adaptation is required
in virtually all sectors of the economy and
regions of the globe, for both built and natural
systems ( 1).
However, without the appropriate science
delivered in a decision-relevant context,
it will become increasingly diffi cult—if
not impossible—to prepare adequately ( 2).
We suggest a number of measures to hasten
the development of science to correct
maladaptations to current climate variability
and support society’s increasing need to
adapt to a changing climate, drawing on lessons
from experience, insights from related
endeavors such as sustainability science ( 3),
and input from scientifi c and stakeholder
communities. ( English )
