Our environment is a complex system undergoing modification and lurching in new directions. Yet the blunt reality is that global warming and sea level rise continue apace, and even the most ambitious geo-engineering schemes will not return our climate to the familiar conditions of 1990, 1900, or 1800. The onus to adapt to climate change is on us
Indeed, an overwhelming 95% of total climate related spending is focused on reducing the carbon intensity of industry, greening supply chains, and other measures. Climate mitigation now dominates the international agenda. While climate consciousness has risen over the past 20 years and more, concerted diplomatic and industry efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other damage to our vital ecosystems are phenomena of the past decade only.
This decade marks the beginning of climate change taking a permanent place in our headlines - and humanity taking seriously the need to adapt to it.
