Rising to the Challenge: Planning for Adaptation in the Age of Climate Change

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Adapting to Climate Change

Part of the book series: Environmental Hazards ((ENHA))

The traditional planning paradigm is insufficient to address the challenges of climate change. Planners must confront heightened uncertainty and longer time horizons. A new model of planning is offered to make the transition to plans that account for multiple futures, monitoring and more flexible strategies needed for adaptive responses.
