The international efforts reduce GHG emissions already happening avoid worst-case scenarios at end this century. bound continue regardless how well those succeed, due emitted, stay atmosphere for long time. Therefore, there no choice but deal with these changes “adaptation”. Adaptation work best if strategies climate-related risks incorporated ongoing development activity. This comprehensive approach manage rising called “climate management”. planet’s crises – rapid variation, degradation ecosystem, increase population, scarcity resources affecting worldwide.
