The Climate Resilient Organization: Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change and Weather Extremes

Working from the assumption that climate change is causing more extreme weather events, the authors assess the external policy and institutional context for corporate responses to climate change, suggest strategic actions for adaptation that organizations can undertake to broaden their coping range, and describe emerging methodologies for estimating the costs and benefits of implementing these options. The opening chapters survey the international climate policy landscape and explain how international climate policy has been translated into national and sector-specific mitigation measures.
