Feature Presentation-Solutions for climate change in a rapidly changing world

Abstract

Climate change over the twenty-first century has the potential to severely disrupt human activities and well-being, and to cause great damage to the natural environment. Climate change risks can be addressed through mitigation (reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and adaptation (managing the impacts that climate change must inevitably cause. This talk will look at these options and explain the activities of the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility, which is working in Australia to support decision-makers seeking to adapt to climate change.
