Even considering that some mitigation target might be achievable, we need to deal with effects of climate change in the near future and in the longer term. This means that adaptation is necessary even if it is not easy to achieve. “In some cases it might be inexpensive, but in some cases it might be really costly” Dott. Irene Lorenzoni says in this video interview to Climate Science&Policy. In which way adaptation strategies could affect our societies? “There are different facets of adaptation goals” Dott. Lorenzoni explains: “As individuals we don’t necessarily have the freedom of choice to respond to climate change in any way that we might want to. We are constrained to a certain extent, by the societal structures in which we operate”
