| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Abstract, etc | Assessing the vulnerability of human populations to global environmental change, particularly climate change, is now the main imperative of research and international action. However, much of the research into vulnerability is not designed to feed directly into decision making and policy. This book seeks to rectify this problem and bridge the gap. |
