Climate Change and Equity: Some Win and Some Lose, But All Need to Adapt

Maria Carmen Lemos, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI

It particularly examines the role that climate information can play in supporting effective disaster response and in increasing adaptive capacity of vulnerable groups in the US and abroad against the background of global climate injustice.   Recorded presentation
