Abstract
This session will critically examine new and emerging approaches to adaptation using three contrasting themes to illustrate key issues. The session will comprise 3 panels on: Conservation/biodiversity, Coastal Systems and Urban Systems. Each panel will address the common themes of (a) co-benefits and transformation issues; (b) how to handle uncertainty; (c) justice dimensions; (d) links between systems; and (e) working across scales – national policy to local implementation.
