CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBALIZATION IN THE ARCTIC

摘要

The publication of the Arctic Council's Arctic climate impact assessment, Impacts of a warming Arctic, in November 2004 was the culmination of sustained scientific focus on global climate processes and the resulting impacts in the latter part of the twentieth century and the early part of the twenty-first century. Research on impacts of climate change, and particularly that dealing with human impacts, has increasingly moved to consideration of how humans are able to adapt to change, leading to a surge in publications on adaptation and adaptive capacity.
