Klimatanpassning I Samhällsplaneringen
Det blir allt viktigare att väga in klimatanpassning i samhällsplaneringen. Stora skogsbränder, översvämningar och torka har redan förekommit och kan i allt högre grad komma att drabba Sverige. Någon allmän debatt om läget räcker inte för att mildra effekterna av sådana incidenter. För att ha metoder till hands och kunna hantera konsekvenserna av klimatförändringen är det nödvändigt att integrera de här frågorna i offentlig planering och beslutsfattande.I den här översikten ger Carina Keskitalo en koncis och tydlig sammanfattning av den stora mängd kunskap runt klimatanpassning som tagits fram av olika myndigheter och sakkunniga för att användas i samhällsplanering. Med illustrativa exempel och idéskisser är boken tänkt att stötta studenter under utbildning och bistå yrkesverksamma i exempelvis kommuner som ska integrera klimatanpassning i sitt arbete.
