[Adaptation to climate change]

These activities improve our understanding of the capacity and mechanisms for ecological and social systems to adjust to changes in climate, to take advantages of opportunities or to cope with the consequences, through an integrated approach that examines the range of environmental, economic, informational, social, attitudinal and behavioural conditions that determine vulnerability and adaptive capacity.
