Climate Change Governance (Climate Change Management)

-- Climate change is a cause for concern both globally and locally. In order for it to be tackled holistically, its governance is an important topic needing scientific and practical consideration. Climate change governance is an emerging area, and one which is closely related to state and public administrative systems and the behaviour of private actors, including the business sector, as well as the civil society and non-governmental organisations. Questions of climate change governance deal both with mitigation and adaptation whilst at the same time trying to devise effective ways of managing the consequences of these measures across the different sectors. -- Many books have been produced on general matters related to climate change, such as climate modelling, temperature variations, sea level rise, but, to date, very few publications have addressed the political, economic and social elements of climate change and their links with governance. This book will address this gap. Furthermore, a particular feature of this book is that it not only presents different perspectives on climate change governance, but it also introduces theoretical approaches and brings these together with practical examples which show how main principles may be implemented in practice Climate Change Governance : The Challenge For Politics And Public Administration, Enterprises And Civil Society / Jörg Knieling And Walter Leal Filho -- Conceptualising Climate Change Governance / Jannes Fröhlich And Jörg Knieling -- Governance Of Wicked Climate Adaptation Problems / Catrien Termeer, Art Dewulf And Gerard Breeman -- Normative Principles For Adaptation To Climate Change Policy Design And Governance / Ieva Bruneniece And Maris Klavins -- Multi-level Climate Governance : Strategic Selectivities In International Politics / Achim Brunnengräber -- Cities And Governance : Coming To Terms With Climate Challenges / Patricia Mccarney -- Local Climate Governance And The Role Of Cooperatives / Carolin Schröder And Heike Walk -- Forecasting The Adoption Of Emerging Energy Technologies : Managing Climate Change, Governance And Evolving Social Values / Tugrul Daim, Kelly Cowan, Wayne Wakeland, Hosein Fallah And Patricia Holahan -- Climate Change Issues And Malaysian Initiatives / Abul Quasem Al-amin, Abdul Hamid Jaafar, Mohammad Nurul Azam, Fatimah Kari And Syed Omar Syed Agil -- Climate Change And The Role Of Spatial Planning In England / Simin Davoudi -- The Need For Adaptive Water Governance : Lessons From Canada And Chile / Harry P.
