Abstract

The scientifc evidence indicates that the Earth’s climate is changing, and without taking appropriate and early action, climate change will have severe impacts on our planet and society at large. Under high-end scenarios of climate change, impacts will include: run-away species and habitat loss, including damage to ecosystems and the support services they provide; damage to infrastructure, agricultural and trade systems; displacement of human populations, and substantial economic losses.Overall, the edited volume’s framing through resilience, legal and risk based lenses, and the Irish and international case studies, demonstrates a number of parallel frameworks and approaches that help consider the value of, and ability to increase, resilience to climate change through integrating Disaster Risk Reduction, Sustainable Development Goals and Climate Change Adaptation agendas
