How Will We Adjust to the Realities of Climate Change?
Climate change has already caused a variety of real-world impacts. Over time, with proper policy responses, some of these can be reversed, and some can be mitigated. But one important area for research and policymaking focuses on how we adapt to the various effects of climate change, even while working to undo or mitigate the causes and larger effects of climate change itself.
CPR Member Scholars are developing a paper on the subject to be published in the near future. Many have already published a variety of works on the topic. (See a bibliography of adaptation publications from CPR Member Scholars, here.) Here’s a sampling of Scholar’s work to date on the subject:
CPRBlog Entries on the 111th Congress. CPR Member Scholars started blogging about various climate change bills as soon as they were introcuded, offering detailed legislative analysis by blog. The bills didn't survive, but the blogging does. Read their CPRBlog entries on the Boxer-Kerry bill and the Kerry-Lieberman bill. Or read their entries on Waxman-Markey, from the day it was introduced in the House through passage in June 2009 and beyond.
