Accordingly, policy-makers must sufficiently understand the effects of climate change and the communities' resilience capacities to it. This can be achieved by an efficient science-policy interface with respect to climate change adaptation planning. This type of interface would better position both scientists and decision-makers to more effectively address the priorities of communities impacted by climate change.121 pagesenCopyright 2013 Iliriana MushkolajEnvironmental sciencePublic policyClimate Action PlanClimate changeClimate Change AdaptationScience-Policy InterfaceqScience UsageVulnerabilityDissertation
