The Need for (and Obstacles to) Regional Collective Action in Climate Adaptation
... Most adaptation work has focused on national rather than regional or global resilience to the threats of climate change (and has emphasized planning more than action). For example, all 45 NAPAs filed through the end of 2010 have focused on steps that might be taken at the national level to adapt to ...
