Summary
This edited book aims to ignite both an academic and practitioner-oriented discussion regarding the question how the business and government sector can adapt to todays fast-changing climate. Specifically, the collection seeks to explore how businesses and policy makers can prepare for a world where freshwater is scarce, extreme weather events are common, floods and wildfires are frequent, and global sea levels rise by more than two meters. In addition to assessing incremental approaches, it explores strategies that employ interdisciplinary and innovative solutions to climate change adaptation. The chapters included in this book examine and propose business and policy solutions for climate-induced economic, technical, urban, and societal challenges. It draws on an international range of prominent authors and, therefore, will be of interest for academics and practitioners working in the field of sustainability management, sustainable finance, sustainable operations management, food management, strategy, and environmental management. It can also serve as a valuable guide for practitioners and policymakers in those fields. Thomas Walker is a Full Professor and Concordia University Research Chair in Emerging Risk Management at the John Molson School of Business, Concordia University, Canada. Stefan Wendt is a Full Professor and Dean of the Department of Business at Bifrost University, Iceland. Sherif Goubran is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture (School of Sciences and Engineering) at the American University in Cairo, Egypt. Tyler Schwartz is an MSc candidate studying data science and business analytics at HEC Montreal, Canada.
