E-raamat: Implementing Climate Change Adaptation in Cities and Communities: Integrating Strategies and Educational Approaches

Walter Leal Filho is a Professor at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany and Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, where he leads a set of international projects on matters related to sustainable development and climate change. Kathryn Adamson is a Lecturer in Physical Geography at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. Kathryns research is focused on long-term climate change in the Mediterranean and Arctic regions. She is a field-based scientist, with expertise in geomorphology, sedimentology, and geochemical analysis. Her research examines the response of glaciers and river systems to changing environmental conditions during the Quaternary (the last 2.6 million years). These long-term records provide important context for our understanding of present and future climate change.
