Námskeið: Loftslagsbreytingar á strandsvæðum - Aðlögun og mótvægisaðgerðir

Námskeiðslýsing á ensku:
This course reviews major projected impacts of climate change in coastal areas under the different UNFCCC scenarios. It then introduces students to strategies and tools that societies can and do use to adapt to future conditions and build climate-resilient communities: for example, through community-based adaptation measures, capacity-building, hard and soft protection responses, and economic incentives. The course also discusses the scientific bases and the societal context of different current and proposed strategies to mitigate climate change, such as blue carbon approaches, geoengineering, and carbon sequestration and storage technologies. It highlights current best practices and encourages students to consider issues of resilience, justice, and intra and intergenerational equity as they assess options to confront anthropogenic climate change.
