Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change
TL;DR: A forum to review, analyze and stimulate the development, testing and implementation of mitigation and adaptation strategies at regional, national and global scales as mentioned in this paper, which contributes to real-time policy analysis and development as national and international policies and agreements are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation to Environmental Change: Contributions of a Resilience Framework
TL;DR: The authors argue that resilience provides a useful framework to analyze adaptation processes and to identify appropriate policy responses, and distinguish between incremental adjustments and transformative action and demonstrate that the sources of resilience for taking adaptive action are common across scales.

Marcus Lindner,Michael Maroschek,Sigrid Netherer,Antoine Kremer,Anna Barbati,Jordi Garcia-Gonzalo,Rupert Seidl,Sylvain Delzon,Piermaria Corona,Marja Kolström,Manfred J. Lexer,Marco Marchetti +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the most important potential impacts of climate change on forest goods and services are summarized for the Boreal, Temperate Oceanic, TOC, Mediterranean, and mountainous regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategies to adapt to an uncertain climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to use the output of a single climate model as an input for infrastructure design, instead of optimizing based on the climate conditions projected by models, therefore, future infrastructure should be made more robust to possible changes in climate conditions.

Catastrophic shifts in ecosystems.
TL;DR: Recent studies show that a loss of resilience usually paves the way for a switch to an alternative state, which suggests that strategies for sustainable management of such ecosystems should focus on maintaining resilience.
Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
