Urban adaptation to climate change: geographers and wicked problems

Contenido principal del artículo

Andrew Kirby

Resumen

Este artículo explora la importancia de la adaptación a los impactos del cambio climático en zonas urbanas. La complejidad de los impactos existentes y potenciales plantea retos singulares a la sociedad, desde el Estado hasta las formas de gobierno y la economía. Y estos, a su vez, plantean retos a la academia, exigiendo la integración de las perspectivas micro y macro, así como de la investigación teórica y aplicada. El artículo defiende que las/os geógrafas/os pueden contribuir de manera significativa a esta cuestión.
