adaptation to the consequences of climate change

Explanation:

Climate Change and changing water availability threatens different people in different ways. Poor and vulnerable groups suffer most from a changing climate, whilst they are not reckoned with, and they have no say in decisions regarding adaptation. The problems and needs of these groups should lie at the heart of adaptation to the consequences of climate change.

Adaptation to the consequences of climate change is another critical community planning challenge. Cities and counties must consider how to protect their communities from the potentially increased environmental hazards and impacts related to sea-level rise, coastal storms and erosion, modified flood hydrographs, increased stress on levees, wildfire risks, and growing demands for water supply while the Sierra snowpack shrinks.
