Water/FoodImpacts: Adaptation

Global climate change is very challenging because human physical and social structures have developed to function in previous centuries’ relatively stable climate. We have some adaptation strategies based on limited experiences with disasters. Some adaptation strategies can assist with adapting to climate change impacts on water and food security.
