Climate Change Adaptation in Nordic Countries
GECHS cosponsored with UiO’s Department of Sociology and Human Geography a workshop on 18-19 December 2006 in Oslo on climate change adaptation in Nordic countries with the aim of developing collaborative research efforts and initiatives across the five countries. The workshop highlighted adaptation as a social process that requires not only an understanding of the sectorial and biophysical impacts of climate change, but also knowledge based in the social sciences of how the capacity to adapt is shaped by economic, political, institutional, and other social factors.
