Climate change is expected to have adverse effects in Mediterranean Europe – the most serious compared to other European regions. Being an island state with a semi-arid climate in the Eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus is located in a hot spot. Based\non the information available in the literature, it highlights the expected natural, economic and societal impacts of\nclimate change and presents recommendations for\nthe implementation of a national\nadaptation strategy. Despite the dismal outlook arising from this review,\nthe book demonstrates that coping with climate change is possible, provided that\nproactive actions are taken by both the public and the private sector. Public\nauthorities need to set clear priorities and set up adequate monitoring\nmechanisms that can help avoid large natural and economic damages at a later\nstage. Enabling private adaptation investments and properly pricing the use of\nnatural resources are key priorities for investing in a climate resilient\neconomy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-02-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319296876\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-29688-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 74\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47396994875532,"sku":"9783319296876","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319296876.jpg?v=1775774125","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319296876","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
